Overview
Twelve-year-old Jeffrey works on the streets of Santo Domingo washing windshields to help his family’s finances, but dreams of becoming a reggaeton singer. With the help of his older brother, Jeyson, he composes and records songs about his life, their neighbourhood, and his dreams for the future. In this intimate documentary, director Yanillys Pérez highlights the resilience and dynamism of Jeffrey as he looks for customers, tries to avoid turf wars with other windshield washers, spends time at home with his family, and climbs his special tree. Full of dynamic music and dance sequences, Jeffrey captures a real-life story of a boy trying his best to turn his dreams into reality.
