Diego is an urbanist from Venezuela living with his partner, Elena, a comtemporary dancer in Barcelona. With their approved visas, they want to move to the land of opportunities with the intention of boosting their professional careers and start a family. However, upon entry, they are taken at the immigration area in New York’s airport for secondary inspection and are subject to a grueling interrogation process.
A gripping psycological thriller on immigration limits and the appeal of the American dream, this is the directors’s debut feature film and is based on personal experiences.
