| Opplysninger | Yolanda García is taking a trip to the Dominican Republic to revisit the country where she was born, which her family was forced to flee when she was a child. Previously privileged and wealthy, the family have found it hard adjusting to immigrant life in teh Bronx, New York, particulary their tough old-world father, Papi. As they immerse themselves in American customs, Yoland and her three sisters rebel against Papi's traditions and values, each in their own way. But, though the girls try to iron the curls from their hair and blend their Hispanic accents to fit in, they will always see the world through Dominican eyes. Now Yolanda needs to return one more time, to recover forgotten memories and that part of her she lost.
