Fernando, a young ballet dancer from Mexico, dreams of international recognition and a life in the US.

However, his arrival disrupts Jennifer’s carefully curated world. She will do anything to protect both their futures— and the life she has built.
Forrest Gump
A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.
