Yazmin & Malik

Yazmin Colon, a 24 year old third grade teacher at an inner city public school, who deeply cares for her students education and for their lives outside of the classroom, finds herself entangled in a family’s domestic violence situation involving one of her students and the student’s mother. She also at the same time finds herself falling in love with Malik Shafer, 22, a working class young man trying to do better with his life after years involved in gang violence. Both Yazmin and Malik are dreamers in a world where dreams quickly can fade into tragedy.
