This is a documentary film about the immigrant family of five from the Dominican Republic. Sandra and her husband have a plan to go back to their country after the youngest daugher enter college. And they're building a nice house in Dominica, these hopes make them stand the hard life. Sandra works hard for 15 hours a day to realize their dreams. she's working for cleaning at the hospital and doctor' office in Brooklyn.
She's proud of her first daughter, Monica, 21-year-old, who graduate from Columbia University. Monica is a web designer in Manhattan, and she's acting in independent film on weekends as well. And Sandra's second daugher, 16 years old, is a 1st-year student of high school, she has a part-time job in McDonald's.
But, unlike 2 daughers, the youngest daugher is in a trouble with her study. she doesn't do very well in her schoolwork. So she often gets a scolding from mom.
In the last part of this film, after Sandra's family having a vacation, they go back to their repeating everyday hard life.
During watching this film, I was thinking that Sandra is a lucky and happy person. Even though her life is hard, she has a dream, and it's coming true.
