- Synopsis
- Paul and Tito (16), undocumented Peruvians, work hard as delivery boys in NYC. Their mother Raffaella (32), a waitress, exploits her customers’ loneliness to gain extra income for her family’s survival.
  When the brothers fall in love with the mysterious Croatian girl Kristin (20), they believe she will lead them to a better life.
  One day, Raffaella takes home Ewald (38), a sleazy novelist, who turns their kitchen into a Burrito factory. Their Bronx apartment quickly fills up with minced meat and hope for financial success while the boys desperately try to win Kristin’s heart.
  Finally, the American Dream becomes a trap when the family attracts the attention of the immigration authorities.
