To dream costs nothing, but achieving and turning that dream into a reality does cost a lot.

Two young brothers from El Salvador cross the border with dreams of a better life. Being undocumented immigrants, they must try to overcome the many obstacles thrown in their way. But their paths diverge with one headed for success, the other for tragedy. Despite the incredible bond they share, they soon discover that the country doesn’t necessarily want both to succeed.

“El Salvador opened the door for film productions with national talents, and With ‘Illegal Dreams’ Salvadoran cinematography reaches a higher level of excellence. Without a doubt the film represents a watershed moment for cinema in Salvador, with a story that repeats itself day after day in many Latin families that seek a better future. Drama, action, romance and a touch of humor are what you can expect here.” – Diario El Salvador

“‘Illegal Dreams’ managed to become a great box office success, and already received very good reviews from critics and film experts. And its tagline, ’Dreaming is not illegal’, is the new topic that will go viral on the networks, since it represents the feeling of each person who has had to leave their country in search of opportunities.” – El Politico

“What an extraordinary story this is. And how fabulously wonderful.” – IMDb
