Victor Vargas is a young (15ish) 1st generation immigrant from the D.R. living in a big city. He goes about trying to improve his image by trying to hook up with the prettiest girl at the local city pool. This movie is all about fronting for your friends, honesty when it is allowed, the complete awkwardness of teenage romance (enough to make you cringe), generational misunderstanding, single parenthood, urban living, and finding what is important to you. While it was a bit slow at times, I am not sure that this wasn't intentional on the part of the director. Life is slow at times.
