José María, a hot-headed builder, and Rosa, a housekeeper, embark in a passionate relationship. When a violent confrontation with José María's foreman results in the other man's death, José María flees to the mansion where Rosa works, telling no one. Hidden even from her, he watches Rosa be mistreated by her boss as he yearns for the day they can be together. -- (C) Strand

Critic Reviews
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
This may be the first film ever made about the seething rage of the disenfranchised that succeeds in lulling you to sleep.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Had the curtain come down 10 minutes sooner, it would have done so with a satisfying thump instead of a soggy swish.
-
Michelle Orange, Village Voice
The structuring allegory's invocation of familial bonds and immigrant burdens grows stilted: It doesn't collapse this delicate film, but it can't quite hold it up, either.
-
David Noh, Film Journal International
This unnecessarily grim study of immigrants suffers from a deadly pace and an even more deadly creeping pretentiousness.
-
Andrew Schenker, Slant Magazine
If you haven't got anything new to say, at least find an interesting way to say it.
