A young couple dances at their wedding. Then, at a lawyer’s office, we see them get advice on what’s to come following their green card application. We flashback to the wedding where Angel’s mother comments how proud his grandmother would be. He replies that the wedding isn’t even real. Later, at their apartment, Angel talks to Sisi about how she doesn’t have to do anything if she thinks it’s too much. Sisi tells him with all the effort, money, and time put into this, it’s already more than too much. He ends up telling her a story of how he always used to call his grandma when his was younger, wanting to go back to Mexico. In the final shot, we see Angel having a slight anxiety attack and burying his head in his hands as he hides in the side of the house.
