Synopsis
Marlon, a young Colombian man is motivated by his girlfriend, Reina to leave his comfortable life in Medellin, Colombia. Together they embark on an unpredictable journey through Guatemala and Mexico, crossing the borders illegally into the United States. Marlon's journey takes him to seedy strip clubs, dance halls, homeless hostels, and the streets of New York. Balancing his search to reconnect with his love and finding his way in this new country, he is convinced that the love he feels for his girlfriend can withstand anything.
