From acclaimed director Victor Nunez ("Ulee's Gold") SPOKEN WORD tells the story of Cruz Montoya (Kuno Becker) a rock star on the West Coast poetry circuit, where audiences from San Diego to Seattle gather to hear him perform.  Just off the road from a successful tour, Cruz gets an unexpected call alerting him that his father (played by Rubén Blades) is fatally ill.

Cruz rushes home to his dying father.  After years away, Cruz quickly begins to retreat into his troubled former life.  Cruz loses his poetic voice, his identity, and almost his life, before he finds a way to heal his relationships with his family, his community and himself.
