Returning home to his native Puerto Rico after years away, 17-year-old Javi meets Luife and Kiki, two social misfits who flip his entire world upside down.

Following the death of his beloved grandfather, Javi (Marcel Ruiz) returns home to his native Puerto Rico for the funeral. Upon arrival, he reunites with old family and friends but discovers something new along the way: Luife (Paolo Schoene) and Kiki (Kiki Montilla), two social misfits who run through the island like they own it. A burgeoning love triangle begins as the trio go on a run of adventures that would make even the greatest influencers jealous. But the majesty of Puerto Rico’s lush trees and vibrant sky also makes way for challenges to Javi’s own notions of love, friendship and loss. 

A timeless journey awaits as Carlitos Ruíz-Ruíz returns to Tribeca with this feature that includes his son Marcel Ruiz working in tandem as co-writer/producer. Beauty and wonder is available in droves as we’re guided through what feels like a tour of the island that also shows an attentive unpacking of the lives of its people and the emotional bonds created through openness and chance.—Casey Baron
