Synopsis

Nico (Guillermo Pfening) is an actor in Argentina who decides to immigrate to the United States seeking to heal past romantic wounds. He settles in New York City, unable to work as an actor because he does not fit the stereotype of a "Hispanic actor" due to being white and blond-haired. As a result, he ends up babysitting his friend Andrea's (Elena Roger) baby daughter. Nico befriends other (female) babysitters at a local park in Manhattan who help him learn better ways of caring for the girl. He takes other jobs as a parties' barman, interacting only with other Latinos due to his inability to speak any English. Nico, an openly gay man, builds a relationship with Martín (Rafael Ferro) as he struggles to find a purpose to his life. [3]

Reception and analysis

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 88% based on 17 reviews, with an average rating of 3.5/5.0. [5]

The Spanish radio station Los 40 said that the movie represents the dream of many actors around the world who aspire to work along big stars in Hollywood without taking consideration of how hard it is to immigrate to the United States and reach success as an actor. [3] The website added that the movie "arrived in time" to vindicate Pride Month and the human rights of migrants, especially during the context of the first presidency of Donald Trump and his government's migratory policies. [3]

Colombian TV channel Señal Colombia gave a positive review of the film, praising Pfening's performance. [6]
