Description

Cara Romero's life was set in motion when she left the Dominican Republic for America, with one goal in mind: working at the factory of little lamps. However, after the Great Recession hit, her job prospects dwindled and her rent began to rise. To survive, Cara must start anew. With the help of a job counsellor, Cara's future is mapped out through forms and questionnaires. But as she navigates this new landscape, her indomitable personality and tempestuous past begin to surface. Over the course of twelve sessions, Cara's story unfolds, revealing scandals, struggles, hopes, heartbreaks, and the reasons behind her journey to America. As Cara faces uncertainty, she must confront the choices that led her here. With no clear path forward, sometimes the only way is to go back to the start.
