Upon Entry
“To enter the "Land of Opportunities" you must tell the truths...”
Diego, a Venezuelan urbanist, and Elena, a contemporary dancer from Barcelona, move to the United States with their approved visas to start a new life. Their intention is to boost their professional careers and start a family in 'the land of opportunities'. But upon entering New York airport's immigration area, they are taken to the secondary inspection room, where border officers will subject them to an unpleasant inspection process and a psychologically grueling interrogation.
This film is a relentless, psychologically grueling descent into bureaucratic dread. It feels like a tightening vise, building an almost unbearable tension through a claustrophobic interrogation. The experience is unsettling and anxious, a stark portrayal of vulnerability against an impersonal system, leaving you deeply unsettled long after the credits roll.
