Synopsis
Brooklyn is a borough of New York that operates for over 150 years now as a natural gateway for immigrants looking for a better life. It's a film about people living in this city and about their dreams , looking to the future and into the past. A street, Broadway, serves as a border and common place for three communities: the artists who have just arrived, the Dominicans and the ultra-Orthodox Jews. All under the elevated train tracks leading to Manhattan. In this multicultural space the stories of three characters will intermingle: Gonzalo, a young Spanish playwright; Richie, a young Hispanic dealer, and Abraham, a Jew.

Produced by Createle Producciones, Ficciones del Sur and ZZJ in collaboration with the IVAC-The Valencian Film Institute and Valencian Television.
