19-24

Female

Laura is a young Colombian immigrant, who has ambitious dreams of moving to the United States pursuing her studies and independence. She is kind, optimistic and emotionally sensitive. After surviving a violent racist assault, fear begins to dictate her choices. She suppresses her language and changes her appearance to feel safe. Her journey is an internal struggle between survival and authenticity.

20-25

Male

Daniel is a Latino immigrant whose life is already established in the United States. His actions towards Laura show comfort and that he genuinely cares for her, wishing her to reconnect with her roots. His encouragement to report the attack will challenge Laura's survival instinct to remain invisible, as she is meant to be seen and proud of her true identity.

20-25

Male

Michel is an ignorant, uneducated white man who will represent the environment Laura feels pressured to assimilate into. His casual interactions unintentionally reinforce his racist beliefs. He has no empathy and is the personification of the Republican party and typical "MAGA" rhetoric. He is a representation and a metaphor for prejudice against Latinos within the U.S.

24 - 35

Male

Dominant, entitled behaviour and overtly aggressive, Man 1 is the primary perpetrator of the racist attack. He sees women as objects, as he is the physical manifestation of hostility towards migrants and becomes the sole reason for the fracture of Laura´s sense of security.

24-35

Male

Sarcastic and complicit, Man 2 reinforces the behaviour of Man 1. He is a perpetrator of violence through his bystander approach, but his mockery and participation contribute to the fracturing of Laura's identity. This man reinforces how harassment is normalized within group dynamics as well as how men can assert their “power” over women.
