Windows on the World (2019)

In the heart-stopping dawn of September 11, 2001, Fernando and his family, nestled in their humble abode in Mexico, witness the catastrophic collapse of the Twin Towers, their eyes glued in terror to the unfolding news. Their world grows even colder with the realization that Balthazar, Fernando's father and their family's guiding light, works as an undocumented busboy in the Windows on the World restaurant, perched atop the now-obliterated towers. As days stretch into weeks with no word, no reassuring phone calls or lifesaving money orders, the family is strangled by the desolation of their missing patriarch. Just when despair threatens to consume them, a glimmer of hope sparks amidst their grief - a fleeting image of Balthazar in news footage, seemingly escaping the fallen building. This fleeting vision propels the heroic Fernando on a quest beyond borders, from the warmth of Mexico to the cold, daunting streets of New York City. His mission: to unearth the truth about his father's fate and salvage his family from the brink of despair. His journey, though fraught with challenges, is far from lonely. Along the way, Fernando discovers love in the most unexpected places and forms an unlikely fellowship with a band of international characters, each with their own tales of hope and heartache. These encounters gradually rekindle his faith in humanity, leading Fernando to not only unravel harsh realities about his father but also to perceive the melting pot of America and the immigrant experience in a new light. "Windows on the World" is thus a poignant exploration of hope, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit amidst adversity, stitched together with the thread of familial love and the vibrant tapestry of the immigrant experience.
