Urban Stories is a feature film that narrates short stories of Spanish-speaking immigrants, of different nationalities, that take place in the center of a faceless city known for its superficiality and materialism. Immigrants who come to this city in search of a better quality of life and economic conditions, hoping for an expedient fulfillment of the social dream that every human being wants to reach. All of them immersed in an urban space that, at first sight appears to be beautiful and full of opportunities, while in reality it is filled with human sorrow and suffering.
Each story opens a window to an emotional underworld that allows us to probe into the pain, incapacity, suffering, isolation, mistreatment, indifference, love, lies, selfishness, innocence, deceit, violence and loneliness of the different key players, who are only trying to survive in the midst of this urban space, inevitably displaing their roots and customs, exploring a new way of life, system, language and the culture of outward appearances that inevitably clashes with the crude reality that surrounds them. A sum of circumstances that leads them to this overwhelming present, surrounded by nonconformance, misfortune and poverty.
