Pressured to sell out and sign a big corporate contract, Alex impulsively (and drunkenly) buys a ticket to Argentina. His plan? Find Sofia, a mysterious internet fling whom he's never met. His search for love and substance is challenged after finding Sofía living on a rural island with her intimidating artist boyfriend Víctor. Will Alex capture Sofia’s interest, or return to the US to sell his soul?

Synopsis: Three Native American teenagers—a rebellious father-to-be, a devout Christian girl, and a promiscuous transwoman— resolve to live on their own terms. Sydney Freeland’s funny, deeply felt feature debut, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Festival and went on to win multiple awards on the festival circuit, takes an unflinching look at contemporary life on the Navajo reservation. Featuring a standout performance by newcomer Carmen Moore, as an aspiring transgender model.
