Entre Nos is a drama film that was exceptionally famous in 2009. The film stars Paola Mendoza. It is basically an exploration of Mariana’s life. The Columbian immigrant is trying to cope with the street life in New York. Mariana has two children; Gabriel (ten years) and Andrea (six years). She moved to New York City with the intention of reuniting with her husband. After realizing that her husband would never come back home, Mariana decides to engage in odd chores so as to offer her children a decent life. There are numerous positive reviews linked with the film, which has won immense awards. This essay is founded on a true story and analyses how novel immigrants are able to live in a new environment and particularly, an urban place. This entails the politics, culture, and language considering that the people come from different backgrounds. No consensus as far as culture is concerned Mariana experiences culture shock in the streets of Queens as she tries to earn a decent living. After the business of selling homemade empanadas ends up unsuccessful, the three family members begin gathering aluminum cans. Consequently, the life becomes too complicated and the daily life struggles begin. People lack understanding as far as culture is concerned. This is in regard to the growth, evolution, and advancement in the cities, the neighborhood concept, people-orientation, and density. In cities, there is increased pressure as a result of the escalated demand for housing, overpopulation, economic and social stress, and congested physical facilities. Close friendship In the center of all the anxiety and confusion, people value close friendship as the social fabric that binds them together. People find it difficult to survive in the demanding urban environment and seek close friendships that lighten their moments. There is a need for the city dwellers to focus more on networking (Sternlieb and Hughes 56). This is attributable to the fact that a majority of the employment emerges from the private sector. Actually, the private sector employs six times more compared to the government. Therefore, a person is more likely to get employment depending on who he knows in the city and the level of his networking. It is worth pointing out that not all people moving to cities possess the necessary skills to carry out odd jobs. Therefore, the newcomers who lack these skills conclude that cities are inhospitable (Mast, Cohen and Braudy 92). In the film, Mariana’s life becomes unbearable and she has to struggle with odd jobs since she lacks formal training. Survival through friendship New visitors in the city are hardly known by anyone and this is the reason why Mariana ends up doing odd jobs since she knows no one who can assist her. However, the formation of closely knit friendships ensures that people are able to survive. People find consolation in each other and are able to assist each other. More particularly, graduates move to cities to find employment after their education and starting life in the city is usually not easy. Therefore, a group of three to five graduates may agree to live together in a single room and share the costs. The friendship they share makes survival in the city possible.
