A new story about immigration comes to screen with At The Gates. A mother and son are taken in to protect them from deportation, but how genuine are the intentions?
The Synopsis
Ana (Vanessa Benavente), a housekeeper from El Salvador, brings her teenage son Nico (Ezekiel Pacheco) to help her clean an affluent family’s Los Angeles home. But after someone rings the front gate, her employers, Marianne (Miranda Otto) and Peter Barris (Noah Wyle), inform them that immigration officers are searching for them and convince the pair to hide in a basement closet, demanding they hand over their cell phones as a safety precaution. As days go by under the same roof, each family begins to question the other’s true intentions in this riveting and emotional thriller from first-time feature director Augustus Meleo Bernstein.
Check out the exclusive clip where we see the lock down is bringing “Nico” and “Ana” into a discussion about their lives.
At The Gates will be available in select theaters November 3, 2023 and in New York November 10, 2023.
