Mad Bills to Pay: (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo)

This Sundance winner, a jaunty first film by Joel Alfonso Vargas, is a love letter to the Bronx Dominican community. Rico, not yet twenty, is a whirlwind charmer always scheming to make money. When his girlfriend, Destiny, announces her pregnancy, they decide to play house in Rico’s small bedroom in his family’s apartment. With his single, working mother and feisty sister at close range, domesticity remains elusive.
