Santitos is a magical, humorous, and passion-filled odyssey about a beautiful young widow's search for her missing daughter, Blanca. Distraught over Blanca's apparent death, Esperanza looks to religion and the Saints she has worshipped throughout her life. With the aid of faith and the reluctant support of her priest, Father Salvador, she follows the advice of Saint Jude of Lost Causes who appears as a vision through her greasy oven window. From her humble Mexican village she travels through the most unusual brothels in Tijuana and a rarely seen side of Los Angeles, meeting pimps like Cacomixtle and wrestlers like Angel, all with a suitcase full of hope and ceramic saints. Phoning in confessions to Father Salvador, she remains as focused on her grief, as she is intrigued by this soap opera of biblical proportions...
