INTIMIDAD paints an intimate portrait of Cecy and Camilo Ramirez, a hardworking, young couple living in a factory town across the Texas border. Their dream is to buy land and build a house so their 2 year-old daughter, Loida, cared for by Cecy’s faraway mother, can live with them. The dream slowly unravels as the everyday politics of living on minimum wage in extreme poverty strains their relationship. Intimidad challenges viewers to understand Cecy and Camilo as people first and interpret their complex lives through a simple story.
