Synopsis
A verite drama centering on a 32-year-old embittered Cuban-American actress on the brink of giving up her dream of having a successful Broadway career. Besieged by rejection, defeat and the nightmare of yet another "Latina maid" role, Lena savagely tears her life apart, wanting to give up, but not knowing she may be only one opportunity away.
