Balbuena, a hopeful Dominican man, leaves his homeland in pursuit of the American Dream in New York City. Instead, he is met with the harsh realities of low-wage labor, discrimination, and cultural shock. Blending humor with sharp social commentary, this Caribbean classic offers a heartfelt look at immigration and identity.
