On November 7, 2024, Alberto Camargo, an Ecuadorian immigrant, attends his naturalization interview conducted by Jamaican American immigration officer Mitch Johnson. Johnson, who previously served in the army for 30 years before taking on this role, presides over the tense and personal encounter. During the interview, Mitch questions Alberto about his past, motivations, and social issues. As the conversation unfolds, themes of identity, trauma related to the immigrant experience, and the privileges of U.S. citizenship emerge. “Beto’s Interview,” based on a true story, challenges the idealized notion of the American Dream by exploring the complexities of immigration and the psychological dynamics between two immigrants from different backgrounds.

Set in one Brooklyn living room over one messy night, "Book Club" is a dark comedy about female friendship, curated lives, and the quiet violence of pretending you’re fine.
