The American Myth

In a town chosen by chance, the paths of two strangers cross. Their motives are different, but,after a number of years now (through prejudice, violence, despair and loneliness) they can finally sense it: They are getting closer to looking at fate in the eyes. 



Pushed by the thirst of revenge, Roberto enters The Community Bank to rob it. Ricardo is already there, in line. As these events unfold, the reasons behind their actions and characters will reveal themselves. Fair or not, the journey to the United States of America can seem like the only way out when adversity strangles.



As they pace on, jumping over hurdles and making irreversible choices, inevitable questions surface: Will they make it out of the bank alive? Has it been worth it to leave their land and families behind? Are they any closer to reaching the elusive American Dream? Or worse: Is it time to admit that there is no dream... only a gold-plated myth?
