Mary Camarillo depicts a vivid image of a present-day neighborhood. The facade is beautiful : people are friendly and smiling. But you just need to scratch a little the surface to see the hate, the talks, the racism. She alternates the characters’ point of view, portraying people from different origins, as much financial than ethniticaly.
