Boundaries

Angélica, a Spanish expatriate living in San Diego, visits Tijuana for the first time and discovers the American Immigration Service will not let her return home to San Diego. She is further frustrated because the American Consulate is inexplicably unavailable to help her. While waiting for the consulate, she encounters an itinerate musician, a mute trombonist, who gets her attention by tapping her on the head with his trombone slide...

Directed by Greg Durbin, Boundaries leans on a strong ensemble — Maria Elena Jordá Langfeldt, Derek Lee Nixon, Greg Bell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2000.
