Problemista
- This is the story of Alejandro.
- His mother gave him everything but she had a recurring dream of Alejandro leaving the safe world she created where he'd face the dangers she tried so hard to keep him from.
- I'm sorry, Ms. Fuentes, but immigration decided not to consider the appeal.
- Alejandro Martinez.
- Yes. Hi. That's me.
- Mr. Khalil's ready for you.
- Thank you.
- Okay look, you don't have a while.
- You have a month to find someone to co-sign your visa.
- And if you don't, you have to leave the US.
- I started freelancing for this lady.
- I'm late.
- I know I'm late, I'm so late.
- Oh, this menu.
- What is it with walnuts?
- Walnuts, walnuts, walnuts.
- It's like a cafe for squirrels.
- Walnuts, they go very nicely with the salad.
- Do I look like I need educating on fine cuisine?
- You think this lady can sponsor you?
- Uh, I mean, we'll see.
- We'll see.
- Whoa.
- Is this your dream? Making toys?
- Yeah.
- Help me curate an exhibition and I'll sponsor you.
- Only thing is, you can't take money right now.
- You must find a sponsor and pay fees to earn money.
- The maze is impossible to navigate.
- Wait, I mean this sucks so much for you.
- I'm barely keeping afloat.
- Your boss is a monster.
- I need to get paid.
- She's the Hydra.
- Such a nightmare.
- None of those options.
- Human. Human being.
- Elizabeth, let me talk.
- I question if you are ready for this job.
- Why are you making everything so difficult?
- Ale!
- You don't know what it is to really want something.
- To be on a mission, journeying into the unknown.
- It sounds brave.
- It's so simple, Alejandro.
- This is it, the sky's the limit.
- Oh, El Salvador.
- Pupusas.
- Yes.
- And those nuns they killed in the '80s.
- Right, so...
