In the Dominican Republic, the local Genaro works in a small family store and lives with his mother in a poor neighborhood. He is learning a couple of words in English and dreams on being a sanky-panky: to get married to an American tourist, move to New York with a VISA, and have a better life. He calls his friend Giuseppe, who is the manager of a resort in Bávaro, and applies for a job position, expecting to meet a wealthy tourist there.
