Engelse Film: Problemista

Alejandro is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream.

From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system.

Torres transforms his experience of being a Salvadoran immigrant into a whirlwind comic fantasy with echoes of Jacques Tati, Terry Gilliam and Franz Kafka.

“This winsome debut feature from the writer/director/actor Julio Torres, is at its best when he applies his considerable talents and dry whimsy to the experience of being ground down by the cold, illogical behemoth of the US immigration system.” Adrian Horton, Observer film critic
