Entre Nos is a heartwarming film that truly brings awareness to the struggles that face immigrants in the United States. The story takes place in Queens. When a mother of two children is abandoned by her husband, she does her best to provide for her children. They are left with nothing, and the mother, Mariana, struggles to find work. She had only been in the United States for a short time, and had to resort to living on the streets. Marian finally finds a way to make money, and the movie slowly, but surely begins providing glimpses of hope and encouragement.
One of the most touching moments in the film, is when Mariana's young son sees a school and looks at it through a fence. You are immediately confronted with the fact that Gabriel yearns for an education, and a normal life, but is faced with the impossibility of his desire. As a child, Gabriel has to take over for his family, and do his best to take care of them. He does not seem to be bitter, even through everything he has to bear.
The characters did a fabulous job of pulling the audience in, and expressing their true feelings in any given scene. In the movie, Mariana was not able to speak very good English, which was probably the biggest obstacle. I wanted so badly to be able to translate for her! The film felt so real, and the characters seemed so helpless. It was truly an eye-opening film. Mariana does a fabulous job at acting out the scenes with her children. For their sake, she does her best to keep positive and keep them busy.
The music throughout the film is very sorrowful and heartbreaking, just like the story. It provides an emotional tone for the audience, and a sense of pity for the family. The scenery is extremely dirty and empty. The movie is very suspenseful, and brings on emotions of anxiety, anger, and sadness. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, especially someone who might be better off than most. I think that in the midst of life, we forget how many are less fortunate.
