New York. Two Peruvian teenagers, Paul and Tito, are looking for meaning, hope, and of course sex. Their mother Raffaella works long hours as a waitress to pay for their English classes, where the boys meet Kristin, a mysterious Croatian prostitute. Paul and Tito are determined to have Kristin help them transition to adulthood, but Kristin has a dark past of her own. As the heat of the summer reaches the streets of New York, people are falling in and out of love, devour each others’ dreams, and seek their revenge.
