“Otra Vida” explores three converging immigrant stories as they grapple with their experience to achieve the American Dream. The film begins with the arrival of Pepe, a young boy from Mexico, to the United States on a mission to find his uncle Paco. We follow Pepe as he makes his way into the city where he meets and passes the torch off to Sara, a middle-aged immigrant with a young son Diego. Sara's arc touches on the reality of being an immigrant while doing her best to support her son. She eventually meets Paco as he goes in for an interview at Sara's workplace. A reflection of the immigrant experience following years of struggle and uncertainty, Paco finally has a chance at the dream.
