Ruby in Paradise
A woman's search for herself.
Directed by Victor Nuñez
Produced by Ruby in Paradise, Full Crew/Say Yea
A tender, introspective coming-of-age story about a grieving woman finding herself and tentative love in a small Florida town.
Reeling from her mother's recent death, Ruby Lee Gissing relocates to Florida to start anew. After finding a job at a souvenir store, Ruby becomes friends with the shop's owner, Mildred Chambers, and slowly acclimates to her new surroundings. Before long, she's juggling the affections of Mildred's Lothario son, Ricky, and the good-natured Mike. As she wavers between Ricky and Mike, Ruby also tries to come to terms with her past.
