“Just show them your heart, and they will see your soul.” The early 1900s was a turbulent and unsettling time period for the Latino community in Los Angeles. Immigrants from Mexico were pouring into California for a variety of reasons. Mostly people fled their home country trying to escape from the brutal Mexican dictator President Dias. These scared desperate people found themselves displaced in a small area of Los Angeles known as Sonora Town. In earlier days, the central heart of Los Angeles was La Placita. During this transit times, La Placita and Sonora Town were left behind and abandoned by the new city government. Dream Sweet Dreams of You is a Latin survival love story set in Sonora Town. The main characters, Juan and Rafella Mendoza, fell in love in front of the old church in La Placita. Rafella, being the daughter of one of the largest cattle ranchers in California, gave up all rights to her family’s name so that she could marry Juan. Juan, a true-hearted boy, found himself in a world outside of Sonora Town. He found himself selling his soul for the pursuit of music and fame. Through the course of their marriage, they experienced social indignities leading them to their final emotion, forgiveness.
