A film that gently explores the tensions between "belonging" and the politics of the
immigrant experience. What it means to have a "home land" and what it takes to find
one for these communities. Using 16mm and super8 film cameras, Anto moves from their
childhood neighborhood in South Santiago, Chile to Jackson Heights and East Boston,
neighborhoods in the US with a significant Latine population. In brief encounters
with local people and a casual conversation with a long time friend, this film is
an attempt to relate to the new country of residence while navigating a capitalist
society.
