Film Description
He is everywhere. In elevators, at crosswalks, in reception areas, and apartment lobbies. He rushes in on bike or foot, ringing bells, buzzing buzzers. Your exchange with him is quick:
“Hello...That’ll be...Here you go...Thanks.” And he is gone.
Your delivery guy.
Keep the Change is the portrait of “Emiliano” – a young immigrant from Mexico. Having left his home and family in search of more money, he is determined to hash out a life in New York City. What he discovers is the reality of being overworked and underpaid. And even as he remains hopeful and determined, day by day he comes to terms with exploitation, nostalgia, disillusionment, and an unknown future.
