Mexican mother Flor (Paz Vega), enters the U.S. with her young daughter, seeking a better life. When she accepts a position as a domestic helper for an American family it becomes very difficult to maintain her privacy and distance. A story about assimilation, this film provides lessons on tolerance towards the good- but sometimes misguided- intentions of immigrants as well as the Americans who employ and befriend them. Also starring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni, and Cloris Leachman (The Last Picture Show 1971).
