This 65-minute documentary/fiction comedy by Nele Wohlatz follows Xiaobin, a 17-year-old Chinese immigrant to Argentina who doesn’t speak a word of Spanish. She secretly enrolls in a class and once she can make plans in Spanish, she arranges to meet Vijay, an Indian immigrant who visits her parent’s supermarket. Through their unlikely secret courtship and her process of learning the conditional tense, she contemplates her role in her own future which resembles less and less the vision her parents have for her.
