How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer is a 2005 American comedy film starring America Ferrera. It was not released on DVD until May 16, 2008. The film won the Silver George for the Best Film of the Perspective competition at the 27th Moscow International Film Festival.[1]

The plot concerns three generations of Garcia women in a sleepy Arizona town who experience a sexual awakening during the course of a summer. America Ferrera is the teenage Blanca Garcia, Elizabeth Peña is Blanca's mother and Lucy Gallardo is her grandmother.

At the beginning of the film, Doña Genoveva (Lucy Gallardo), the matriarch of the family, decides to buy a car but doesn't know how to drive. A man named Don Pedro offers to teach her, and the relationship gradually turns from platonic to romantic. Meanwhile, Doña Genoveva's daughter, Lolita, is torn between her co-worker at the butcher shop where she works and Victor, a married man who frequently makes passes at women around town. Seventeen-year-old Blanca falls for the new guy in town and learns about the joy and pain an intimate relationship can bring.

Throughout the story, the women struggle to sort out their sexual feelings while trying not to further damage their sometimes-strained family relationship. Most of the dialogue is in English, with occasional humorous digressions of old men sitting around talking in Spanish about their past experiences with cars and women
