Alejandro is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system.
“This absurdist comedy becomes a beautifully moving piece about how we make it through the world with desperation and hope, and the hard-earned lessons we find in each other.” – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
“Julio Torres takes a simple story about immigration and human connection, and turned it into a comedic, surrealist fantasy that serves as an epic critique of capitalism.” – Valerie Complex, Deadline Hollywood Daily
