SAND DOLLARS Coming to Theaters, VOD/DVD This November

Breaking Glass Pictures is releasing the art-house romance Sand Dollars (Dólares de arena) starring legendary film actress Geraldine Chaplin (Talk to Her). Sand Dollars will be released in theaters November 6 and on VOD/DVD November 24. A stand out at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, the film was written and directed by Israel Cárdenas and Laura Amelia and has been selected by the Dominican Republic for the 2016 Academy Awards.

In this "Enchanting and thoughtful" (Hollywood Reporter) romance, an older European woman becomes captivated with a young Dominican woman struggling to make ends meet. Love brings a flow of entanglements in this "remarkably sensitive, nonjudgmental portrait of an unequal lesbian relationship" (Variety).

Sand Dollars will open in New York City (Cinema Village) on November 6, 2015 and Los Angeles (Laemmle Playhouse) and Miami (Tower Theater) on November 13, 2015.

Official synopsis:
Every afternoon Noeli, a young Dominican girl, goes to the beaches at Las Terrenas with her boyfriend to look for ways to make a living at the expense of one of the many tourists that wander the beach. As people parade through her life, Noeli has a steady client; a mature French woman who, as time goes by, has found an ideal refuge on THE ISLAND to spend her last years. When Noeli's boyfriend feigns to be her brother, he outlines a plan in which Noeli travels to Paris with the old lady and sends him money every month. For Noeli, the relationship with the old lady is one of convenience, but the feelings become more intense as the departure date closes in.

The film premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and went on to play at Chicago International Film Festival ROME Film Festival, Cairo International Film Festival, Palm Springs International Film Festival and Miami International Film Festival.

Sand Dollars will be available on the following VOD platforms starting November 24: iTunes, Amazon Instant, Vudu, Google Play, iNDEMAND, and Vubiquity.
