Monument Releasing has acquired North American theatrical rights to “The Fishbowl,” which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The movie will debut in U.S. theaters in March 2025, coinciding with Puerto Rican Emancipation Day on March 21. A streaming release will follow on May 21, 2025.

The official Sundance synopsis for the movie, which is set on the island of Vieques, a U.S. military testing ground for toxic munitions and is one of the few Puerto Rican-produced features to debut at the festival, follows: “After years of remission, Noelia’s cancer has returned and is spreading quickly. Exhausted by relentless treatment plans and pills that do more harm than good, she seeks another way out. Brushing aside her boyfriend Jorge’s well-meaning but suffocating gestures, she heads back to Vieques, the blissful eastern Puerto Rican island where she grew up; a land grappling with its own poisoning after decades of contamination from U.S. Army operations.
