Upon Entry

A gripping and edgy debut feature from the writing-directing duo of Alejandro Rojas and Juan Sebastián Vasquez raises a question about the true meaning of opportunity in America: Welcome to New York airport's immigration area, where a Spanish couple's dream of a new life is disrupted by an unpleasant vetting process and a psychologically grueling interrogation. A Venezuelan urbanist and his contemporary dancer partner from Barcelona are detained for intense questioning about their pasts, their reasons for moving to the US, and the intentions that lie beneath their love.
