Synopsis

Inspired by a true story, Cajita tells the tale of a man known only by his nickname, given to him because of the shipping container that carried him to the U.S.—a harrowing journey that nearly claimed his life. Now working as a handyman and groundskeeper for a wealthy family, Cajita’s survival depends on their employment. But when he’s asked to take on an immoral task, a cascade of unforeseeable consequences is set off. This film is an exploration of power and the compromises we make when livelihood is tethered to another’s will.
