SYNOPSIS
“Nadie nos mira” follows Nico, an Argentine actor trying his luck in New York, who will soon find out that he is “too blond to play Latino, his accent too thick to play American.” He ends up working as a “manny” (a male sitter) for Theo, a baby he will get unexpectedly attached to. His good looks help him hide how precarious and lonely his life here is. Through Theo, he meets a group of Latina nannies in the park he frequents. He gets in touch with much harsher immigrant experiences, that confront him with the destructive nature of his self-imposed exile'
CHARACTERS
MARINA [30-50] Latin American. NATIVE SPANISH OR PROTUGUESE SPEAKER. Marina is a highly perceptive, tender but firm matronly nanny. A natural caretaker, she’s been a babysitter for over a decade. She’s energetic and enjoys going dancing on weekends. She's fun, spirited, kind. She becomes close friends with the protagonist NICO. If actress has a passport from COLOMBIA or BRAZIL, that would be great as this is a co-production. But we're open Latin actresses from all backgrounds and nationalities. Please note, dialogue will be in SPANISH (or PORTUGUESE/ PORTUÑOL) so you must be a native speaker.
VIVIANA [20-30's] Female. Latin American. NATIVE SPANISH OR PROTUGUESE SPEAKER. Viviana is a nanny. She’s scarred by a violent past. She came to the US a few months ago, leaving her son behind. She sends money back home, and misses her son so much that any moment of happiness here is clouded by pain and guilt. She's kind, motherly, loving. If actress has a passport from COLOMBIA or BRAZIL, that would be great as this is a co-production. But we're open Latin actresses from all backgrounds and nationalities. Please note, dialogue will be in SPANISH (or PORTUGUESE/ PORTUÑOL) so you must be a native speaker.
YOLI [20-late 30s] Female. Latin American/ African or Caribbean Background. Yoli works as a babysitter. She's fun and lively. She's kind, charming and warm.
