From writer/director Julio Torres (Los Espookys) comes Problemista, a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system.
Alejandro (Julio Torres) is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City.
As time runs out on his work visa, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton) becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream.
"A whimsical fish-out-of-water tale; a deeply considered, fantastical tromp through a mundane wonderland." —Brian Lowry, CNN
"An inventive, whimsical and delightfully oddball story of the immigrant experience, Problemista marks the promising writing and directing debut of Julio Torres." —Adam Graham, Detroit News
