Cabana
Bella, a young dancer at a cabana, feels very nervous about her first night on the job. Her boyfriend, Claudio, a bartender at that same cabana, tries his hardest to encourage her and make sure she doesn’t give up on her dream of being a professional dancer. However, everything goes south when Richard, someone from Claudio’s past who had conflict with him, shows up threatening to end their relationship.

Imputation
Quinn and Elias, high school seniors, are noticing missing children’s posters around the school. The two boys talk about their experience of meeting a new student, Albert, but notice that they have met two opposite sides of him, leading the boys to be entangled in a spiral of suspicion and intense confrontation.

Knees
Andres, a boy with Cuban roots travels to Cuba for the summer, there he meets an old friend Carlos, a boy who is a product of his environment. The two catch up with one another slowly revealing, through unspoken words, that Carlos dug himself into new trouble – but this time he might not be able to claw his way out.
