Isabel Castro wanted her debut feature about the immigrant experience to reflect a full range of emotions, especially the joy of finding freedom and meaning. Her dreamy poetic doc tells the authentic tale of two American-born Mexican women, each trying to provide a better life for their undocumented families and feeling the pull of creative instincts. Doris Munoz is a high-octane music manager who knows how to hustle and promote but when she discovers a young, aspiring singer in Texas, Jacks Haupt, and brings her to LA, both artists wrestle with the pressure they feel to honor the sacrifices their parents made. Music is their sanctuary, but can they earn a living and still be true to themselves?
