WHEN BROOKLYN MET SEVILLE
Fiction
Ana is a young girl from Seville, who’s sick of her family and the problematic neighborhood they live in. But things are about to get even worse when her mother, in a desperate attempt not to get evicted, comes up with a cunning plan... To fool an agency that specializes in finding accommodation for foreign exchange students into letting her be a host mom to Ariel Brooklyn, an Afro-American student from a wealthy family. The problem is that, instead of the luxury accommodation he was promised, Ariel finds himself in a tiny, working-class apartment.
Despite their obvious differences and the absurd situations they find themselves in as a result of the scam, Ana and Ariel are forced to live under the same roof, and when at such close quarters, who knows what might happen!
