Set in San Francisco, this film chronicles a day in the life of Ilena, a newly arrived refugee from Nicaragua. The beautifully crafted narrative focuses on her adjustment to life in the United States among other Nicaraguans who fled the repression of the Somoza regime prior to the 1979 revolution and the conflicting ways in which they view their past.

"...Unforgettable....An outsider can only feel instinctively that he or she has come close to the heart of Ilena's small circle of expatriate Nicaraguans."

TWN acknowledges that in New York we are on the unceded territory of the Lenni Lenape,
Canarsie, Shinecock, and Munsee peoples and challenges the harm that continues to
be inflicted upon Indigenous and People of Color communities here and abroad,
which is why we all need to be part of the struggle for rights, equality and justice.
