Lupe

The one theme of this film that drew me into the story is loneliness. Not just loneliness but the struggle that occurs when someone is transplanted from one world to another. In Lupe is about Rafael who traveled from Cuba to the US in search of his sister. In New York, Rafael is not only searching for his sister but also for him/her identity. New York is portrayed in a cold brutal manner while Cuba warm, loving and nostalgic.

Good acting from the main character and interesting twist in the plot makes this a worthy indie film.
