EL Cuco (2006), 24 minutes DV
George and Stacy Cucola are a middle-class couple with three children and a house in Union, New Jersey. They are happy, or at least comfortable with each other, although there is one minor issue--George likes to watch Mexican soap operas on the Spanish channel. One night after a fight, George falls asleep and enters the world of El Cuco , becoming the star of the show. "Jorge" survives the drama of the novella and eventually the episode ends up with our leading man in the hot tub with his sister, a catholic nun, and his childhood friend who has had a sex change operation. George abruptly wakes up next to Stacy. Will he have a new appreciation for her and their real life?
El Cuco was filmed in 2006 on location in Union, New Jersey. You may notice that there are some similarities between the Cucola's residence and Dennis O’Sullivan’s house in My African Uncle! | | | Directed by
