We follow two somewhat successful actresses who leave Colombia and travel to New York, aiming for greater fame and opportunity and a better life for themselves and a daughter, only to receive a rude awakening: they are only seen as immigrants now. Colombian director Daniel Arango, who lives in New York, clearly knows whereof he films, as do his leading actresses, Jennifer Arenas and Josefina Scaro, the latter of whom returns to MIFF after being here recently with the well-loved film American Thief.
