    [synopsis] => Las Ramírez de Stanten Islan orbitan alrededor de la ausencia. Cuando Ruthy, a los trece años, desapareció sin dejar rastro después de un entrenamiento de atletismo, su familia quedó marcada y deshecha. Una noche, doce años después, Jessica, la hermana mayor, ve en la pantalla de su televisión a una mujer que aparece en Catfight, un reality show subido de tono. Se apresura a decírselo a Nina, su hermana menor. El pelo de esta mujer está teñido de rojo y se hace llamar Ruby, pero el lunar bajo su ojo izquierdo es reconocible al instante. ¿Podría ser Ruthy, después de todo este tiempo?

Los años desde la desaparición de Ruthy no han sido fáciles para la familia Ramírez. Es el año 2008 y su madre, Dolores, todavía padece la pérdida; Jessica se las arregla entre su bebé recién nacido y su trabajo en el hospital; y Nina, después de cuatro exitosos años en la universidad y de no haber sido aceptada en la escuela de medicina, regresa a casa y se ve obligada a trabajar en el centro comercial doblando diminutas tangas en una tienda de lencería.

Después de ver a la posible Ruthy en la pantalla, Jessica y Nina planean manejar hasta el lugar donde se filma el programa para buscar a su hermana perdida. Cuando Dolores descubre su plan, insisten en ir con ellas, junto con Irene, su mejor amiga. Lo que sigue es un viaje de familia y un reencuentro que forzará a las Ramírez a, por fin, enfrentar el pasado y mirar hacia el futuro, con o sin Ruthy en sus vidas.

¿Qué le pasó a Ruthy Ramírez? es un retrato de familia vívido, en toda su destrozada realidad, que explora los lazos de familia entre mujeres y los ciclos de generaciones de violencia, colonialismo, raza y silencio, llenos de sarcasmo, resentimiento, ternura y, por supuesto, amor.

The Ramirez women of Staten Island orbit around absence. When thirteen-year-old middle child Ruthy disappeared after track practice without a trace, it left the family scarred and scrambling. One night, twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica spots a woman on her TV screen in Catfight, a raunchy reality show. She rushes to tell her younger sister, Nina: This woman's hair is dyed red, and she calls herself Ruby, but the beauty mark under her left eye is instantly recognizable. Could it be Ruthy, after all this time?

The years since Ruthy's disappearance haven't been easy on the Ramirez family. It's 2008, and their mother, Dolores, still struggles with the loss, Jessica juggles a newborn baby with her hospital job, and Nina, after four successful years at college, has returned home to medical school rejections and is forced to work in the mall folding tiny bedazzled thongs at the lingerie store.

After seeing maybe-Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina hatch a plan to drive to where the show is filmed in search of their long-lost sister. When Dolores catches wind of their scheme, she insists on joining, along with her pot-stirring holy roller best friend, Irene. What follows is a family road trip and reckoning that will force the Ramirez women to finally face the past and look toward a future—with or without Ruthy in it.

“What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez” is a vivid family portrait, in all its shattered reality, exploring the familial bonds between women and cycles of generational violence, colonialism, race, and silence, replete with snark, resentment, tenderness, and, of course, love.
