Episode Details
Back to EpisodesBefore Midnight: from 'inevitable' love to choosing to stay
Description
In this episode we tackle Richard Linlater’s 2013 film Before Midnight. We talk about how this is the first movie in the Before Trilogy to explore a relationship beyond those magical first 24 hours, the bleaker side of marriage, and parenting challenges of different kinds.
As always, we also share our favorite multicultural moments and pieces of culture depicted in the movie, like Celine and Jesse spending a summer at a beach house in Greece!

ABOUT THE HOSTS:
Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.
The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
