In a tight knit Dominican American community in The Bronx, Rico is hustling his way through the summer, selling bootleg “nutcracker” cocktails out of a beach cooler and chasing girls without a care in the world. But when his teenage girlfriend, Destiny, begins crashing at his place with his family, turning their small apartment into a stage for their messy, complicated young love, it’s only a matter of time before they’re hit with the sobering reality of growing up too fast in a city that waits for no one. Presented at Berlin, Sundance and Karlovy Vary film festivals.
