Starring: Carmine Famiglietti, Raul Castillo, Jennifer Pena
Modern-day culture mash-up in Queens.
Sure
to be a Festival favorite!!! A classic working-class American tale with
unforgettable performances, this rare gem explores the surprising bond
between
a hard-working illegal immigrant and a blue-collar Italian American
from Queens. Wrestling with language barriers and racial prejudices,
the two grow closer as their worlds expand. The spector of permanent
deportation hangs over this unusual buddy film. Lovely, funny, and
ultimately
heartbreaking.
