On the first day of elementary school, Abuela soothes Gloriana's nerves by telling her stories about their family home in la Repblica Dominicana. But as soon as Gloriana enters the classroom, the tropical scenery crumbles and la msica is replaced with English phrases she does not understand. When other kids approach her to play, she freezes, uncertain about how to exist in both of her different homes and how to make new friends using her two languages. Abuela recognizes echoes of her own immigration journey on this challenging day at school, and she gently guides Gloriana toward newfound confidence.
