The Story:
Inspired by a true story, this feature debut shows how one day in New York alters the lives of two people forever. Jose, a handsome soccer star (Eduardo Verástegui) who is on his way to sign a multi-million dollar contract when he accidentally kills a little girl in an automobile accident that bring his career to an abrupt end. Having retreated from the world, the once-famous athlete now works as a cook at his brother Manny’s (Manny Perez) Mexican restaurant in Manhattan.
A beautiful waitress, Nina, (Tammy Blanchard), struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she’s unprepared for. In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down… until a simple gesture of kindness brings them both together, turning an ordinary day into an unforgettable one.
Jose recognises something in Nina, and reaches out to her. The charming pair fall into an easy confidentiality over the course of their eventful day. On a whim they go to the beach near Jose and Manny's parents' house in the suburbs. Within the colour and comfort of Jose's family home, Nina keenly feels she is missing the intimacy, support and peace that such a close family provides, and she makes a decision that is key to the enigmatic Jose's redemption. In the course of this single day, he not only confronts his own haunting past but shows her how the healing power of love can help her embrace the future.
