Cast: Roberto De La Peña, Catalina Lago, Juan Pablo Shuk

An immigrant cannot find himself in the monstrosity that New York offers. No job, no money, no love. A confused man who cannot find his way on the American platform. Juan Fischer seeks to reflect the life of the Latino without stability in the United States, but his protagonist never projects empathy, his goals are clouded and his frustrated love is just an excuse to give his existence some meaning. Without such a clear purpose and marked by rugged situations, the film tries to win an immigrant marathon of good impressions, but the story becomes an inconsistent patchwork redemption. An incomplete anecdote of the life of the illegal Colombian in a diffuse American dream, drenched in drink and Spanglish.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
