No One Gets Out Alive

“Don’t try to leave. It’ll only make things worse.”

In a run-down boarding house in Cleveland, Ambar (Cristina Rodlo) takes a cheap room after crossing into the country in search of the American dream. Santiago Menghini puts her under the same roof as the landlord Red (Marc Menchaca), whose house has rules and rooms she does not understand. She has no money, no papers, and nowhere else to go, so leaving costs her everything she came here to build.
