Elas Sandoval stands in line at Miami International Airport, desperately hoping hes picked the right immigration agent, the one who will open the doors to the promise of America. Elas comes to the United States hoping to storm the arts scene as a sculptor, only to be handed a dishcloth and a tray for clearing dishes.His quest leads us through a series of misadventures on the path taken by so many Latin American immigrants: from the lines of U.S. immigration to the kitchen sinks of restaurants and the bellboybound corridors of hotels in New York City.In Central America, he has left Helena behind, who through anxious and hilarious phone exchanges exerts constant pressure on her faroff boyfriend to send for her, in the hopes that she can fulfill her mothers lifelong dream of going to Miami.Raucous culture conflict and communication barriers due to poor translation and offkilter antics comprise Quesadas formula for fun while exploring the ambiguous status of Latino immigrants fresh off the proverbial boat.
