Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Must be Union. Laura is a young Colombian immigrant, who has ambitious dreams of moving to the United States pursuing her studies and independence. She is kind, optimistic and emotionally sensitive. Before the assault she carries her culture with so much pride and devotion but quickly she'll be aware of how her and her community aren't as welcome in her new to be “home”. After surviving a violent racist assault, fear begins to dictate her choices. She suppresses her language and changes her appearance to feel safe. Her journey is an internal struggle between survival and authenticity, that will lead her to stop hiding and open up.

Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Must be Union. Daniel is a Latino immigrant whose life is already established in the United States. He is a respectful and grounded classmate who tries to help her from the first moment he sees her seeking a safe place. His actions show comfort and that he genuinely cares for her, wishing her to reconnect with her roots. He is her sign that creating a Latino community is not far from her. His encouragement to report the attack will challenge Laura's survival instinct to remain invisible, as she is meant to be seen and proud of her true identity.

Michel is the typical ignorant, uneducated white man who will represent the environment Laura feels pressured to assimilate into. He has never dealt with being part of a minority or with his humanity being taken away from him, because yet again he is white guy who is a citizen of the United States of America. His casual interactions unintentionally reinforce his racist beliefs. He has no empathy and is the personification of the Republican party and typical "MAGA" rhetoric. Finally he is a representation and a metaphor for prejudice against Latinos within the U.S.

Must be Union. Dominant, entitled behaviour and overtly aggressive, Man 1 is the primary perpetrator of the racist attack. His words are intended to purely sexualize her and his actions are purely meant to physically violate Laura. He sees women as objects, as he is the physical manifestation of hostility towards migrants and becomes the sole reason for the fracture of Laura´s sense of security.

Sarcastic and complicit, Man 2 reinforces the behaviour of Man 1. He is a perpetrator of violence through his bystander approach, but his mockery and participation contribute to the fracturing of Laura's identity. This man reinforces how harassment is normalized within group dynamics as well as how men can assert their “power” over women.. His presence intensifies Laura´s fear when the assault occurs.

Voice Actor. Julieta is Laura´s kind and caring mother who remains in Colombia. She is caring, warm and deeply rooted in Colombian traditions. She embodies emotional safety and unconditional support as most Latinas mothers do. Although she is physically distant, her voice and comforting words ground Laura during her difficult moments, making her a real safe space even if it's miles away from her.

The realtor is a polite, talkative and seemingly welcoming character. However, he is the representation of day-to-day unconscious biases. Through comments and assumptions that quickly turn into microaggressions, he introduces us to the new reality Laura will face as a minority in the U.S. He is curious about Laura's background and her almost unpredictable accent for a non-American person, but still reinforces discrimination, making her aware of her position as an outsider.

A helpless Latina student who becomes the target of racist remarks on campus. She is vulnerable in this society because of her naivety; bullied solely due to her speaking her native language. She reflects a version of Laura that is still visibly connected to her roots but is too ashamed to accept who she is.

She is confident and integrated within the university. This girl is the pure reflection of what Laura is yet to become if she keeps on hiding who she truly is. As she is a white woman who has never faced prejudice and discrimination due to who she is, her ignorance leads her to participate in racist comments.

He is confident and integrated within the community. As a man who has never faced prejudice and discrimination due to who he is, his ignorance leads him to participate in racist comments.

Professional and well-intentioned, the teacher is your typical devoted instructor who has been teaching for years and has this love and passion towards the institution.

**OPEN TO CANADIAN & US ACTORS JOE.

A PLUS JOE/older version- has seen it all-after losing everything, he no longer wants to fight, nor feels the need or strength to do so. Once a nine-time boxing champion, now fallen from glory, he was framed by powerful interests and spiraled into uncontrolled doping use, losing all his honor and status. The accidental death of his only daughter, Anna, pushed him to the lowest point of his life, leaving him broken and defeated. It is not until he meets Bella and her daughter Mia that his life begins to regain its light. In the end, he rediscovers his confidence and fights his way back to reclaim everything that once belonged to him. JOE/younger version- is a gifted nine-time champion who rose effortlessly, only to be abruptly cut down and unable to recover from the sudden fall. It is not until he meets Bella and her daughter Mia that his life begins to regain its light. In the end, he rediscovers his confidence and fights his way back to reclaim everything that once belonged to him.

**OPEN TO CANADIAN & US ACTORS Bella (27) She has a soft, alluring appearance, is compassionate, and at the same time resilient and brave. After divorcing her ex-husband, she raises her daughter Mia on her own. His gambling addiction leaves her burdened with debt, so she works tirelessly to give her daughter a better life. At first, she rents out a room to Joe to make ends meet, but over time they fall in love and become each other’s salvation.

**OPEN TO CANADIAN & US ACTORS **BOXING EXP. A PLUS Michael (30) A hot-headed, tough fighter—the strongest in Gym B and its de facto leader—yet perpetually a runner-up in major competitions.
