Mi Nombre es CarlosMy Name is Carlos is an intimate portrait of an immigrant from Guatemala, who comes to New York City in search of the American dream. Still a window washer 30 years later, Carlos begins to have "visions" of the love he left behind. He feels the regret of never having become successful, so he yearns for her, his family and his country. Carlos' relationship with a "friendly" American chess opponent forces him to remember and retain his cultural identity.
