JUSTIN
Endearing and charming, with a slightly self-destructive edge. A young man still searching for what he wants out of life, he is generally well-meaning, but gives in to his impulses too easily and makes a habit of justifying to himself his more questionable decisions. Sees himself as the main character, for better or worse.
MADDIE
Bright and bubbly, with an infectious energy. Extremely comfortable in her own skin, she’s the kind of person who makes friends with everyone. She knows what she wants and goes for it, even when it sometimes leads her into less than ideal situations.
ALEXIS
Sweet and reserved. She looks for the best in others and, almost to a fault, puts other people before herself. Somewhat passive, she’s the kind of person who only becomes her true self after getting comfortable around a person, but she has a strong sense of identity and knows her worth. A very warm personality.
BECKY
Female, 20’s, open ethnicity. Pretty. Becky is genuinely a happy person, she's not dumb per say, she's just trusting. Making it easy for her to be manipulated. Always with a smile on her face she comes wrapped in Alo Yoga and unfortunately toxic positivity. A devoted disciple of Guru-Sam, Becky is convinced that being close to him means being closer to her spiritual awakening. She hangs onto his every word. Becky is actively searching for the real, even if it puts her in harm's way. Vibe: Kayla/Megan Stalter from Hacks - but bubblier.
SARAH
With an intelligent gaze, Sarah exudes calm and confidence, and yet she carries a quiet violence within her. Often without having to name things, her eyes speak for themselves. Her grief does not crush her; it moves through her quietly, with unexpected surges. She refuses to be defined by this event, and despite the pain, she remains a complex woman, at times funny, at times distant, but always entirely herself. Despite the loss of their child, she and her husband, Peter, continue to share a profound bond.
Laura
Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Laura is a young Colombian immigrant, who has ambitious dreams of moving to the United States pursuing her studies and independence. She is kind, optimistic and emotionally sensitive. After surviving a violent racist assault, fear begins to dictate her choices. She suppresses her language and changes her appearance to feel safe. Her journey is an internal struggle between survival and authenticity.
Daniel
Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Daniel is a Latino immigrant whose life is already established in the United States. He is respectful and grounded. His actions show comfort as he cares for Laura, wishing her to reconnect with her Latina roots. Daniel is a metaphor for the welcoming nature of the Latino community, even outside of his home.
Michael
Michel is an ignorant, uneducated white man. His ignorance comes from a lack of empathy and education. His casual interactions unintentionally reinforce his racist beliefs. He is a representation and a metaphor for prejudice against Latinos within the U.S.
Jack (Man 1)
Dominant, entitled, and overtly aggressive, Jack (Man 1) is the primary perpetrator. He sees women as objects, as he is the physical manifestation of hostility towards migrants and becomes the sole reason for the fracture of Laura´s sense of security.
Sam (Man 2)
Sarcastic and complicit, Sam (Man 2) reinforces the behaviour of Jack (Man 1). He is a perpetrator of violence through his bystander approach, but his mockery and participation contribute to the fracturing of a women's identity.
Realtor
The realtor is a polite, talkative and seemingly welcoming character. However, he is the representation of day-to-day unconscious biases. Through comments and assumptions that quickly turn into microaggressions, he introduces us to the new reality Laura will face as a minority in the U.S. He reinforces discrimination, making others aware of their positions as outsiders
Latina Girl
A helpless Latina student who becomes the target of racist remarks on campus. She is vulnerable in this society because of her naivety; bullied solely due to her speaking her native language. She reflects a version of Laura that is still visibly connected to her roots but is too ashamed to accept who she is.
Girl student
She is confident and integrated within the university. This girl is the pure reflection of what Laura is yet to become if she keeps on hiding who she truly is. As she is a white woman who has never faced prejudice and discrimination due to who she is, her ignorance leads her to participate in racist comments.
Male student
He is confident and integrated within the community. As a man who has never faced prejudice and discrimination due to who he is, his ignorance leads him to participate in racist comments.
Teacher
Professional and well-intentioned, the teacher is your typical devoted instructor who has been teaching for years and has this love and passion towards the institution.
