Synopsis: Bolivar (Kuno Becker) has made the treacherous journey over the border from Mexico to Los Angeles, home of Lola Sara (Danielle Camastra), a beautiful and restless club-hopping 22-year-old. Lola is caught between appeasing her old-world mother (Maria Conchita Alonso) and following her own dreams and passions. Bolivar, living the daily struggles of an illegal immigrant day laborer, soon meets Norman Benjamin, a wolf in designer silk clothing, who hires him to do odd jobs.

Bolivar’s world is in Spanish; Lola Sara’s in English. Now two people living life on very different sides of the same culture find themselves on a collision course with each other, and fate.
