A Dream Never Meant For Her
*
A Dream Never Meant For Her *
This immigrant Cinderella story blends the emotional resonance of Under the Same Moon with the transformational charm of My Fair Lady. At its center is Xochitl, a Mexican-American street fruit vendor whose life takes an unexpected turn when Andrew Goldblum, a powerful film director, makes her the subject of a daring bet with his career rival.
Xochitl is thrust into a world far removed from her own, one that she perceives as hostile. What begins as a challenge quickly becomes a clash of cultures—paving the way for new friendships, surprising rivalries, and life-altering consequences.
A feel-good, immigrant Cinderella story for the whole family, the film explores:
💔 Cultural bias and self-esteem
💔 Immigration, DACA, and the pain of families separated
💔 The untold stories of hardworking street vendors who are too often overlooked
