Problemista

Opening at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes

Beginning May 10, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society presents Problemista, a comedy and surreal fairytale about finding the people who truly see you.

Alejandro (Julio Torres) is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton) becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system. [2024, US, 104 min, Rating: R]

Amanda Luberto of Arizona Republic says, “If you’ve ever been lucky enough to find a creative partner who sees the world the way you do, the connection between Elizabeth and Alejandro will hit you joyfully and achingly.”
