A soon-to-graduate Mexican-American college student struggles to find a job when sudden visions and ancient entities question who he really is.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT: Based on my experiences as an immigrant who has lived in the States for almost a decade now, this short explores the concepts of belonging and the impact of immigration and assimilation on cultural identity, and poses the question to all bicultural humans of who am I?
