Synopsis:
The Fourth Kingdom is the kingdom of plastics, a redemption center in NY for immigrants and underdogs where the American Dream becomes possible indeed. Through the stories of Rene, a Mexican immigrant who can't go back to his country as a loser; Pier, an African-American guy who has found happiness in the social stigma; Eugene, a disabled man who has spent 40 years in the streets; and Walter, a mysterious person who came walking from El Salvador... we revisit this particular planet and their inner worlds.
