In this satire, produced in 2017, visual artist Julio Salgado tries to find some measure of peace in trying times for undocumented people in the United States. His exploration of different relaxation methods fails to comfort him under attacks from the Trump presidency, including its rescinding of DACA. He gives it his best, but try as he might to soothe his stress and anxiety, things don't necessarily turn out the way he wants (just as theDREAM Act and Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation don't).
