It is absolutely captivating. It tells the story of Alejandro (Torres), an El Salvadoran immigrant desperate to work for Hasbro but needing to extend his New York stay by getting his work visa approved. His artistic mother back home has tried to shield him from life’s harshness, but he’s alone in a hulking, unfriendly city filled with trash. Isabella Rossellini narrates, adding a starry gravitas.
