Synopsis/Details
A female-led short inspired by actual events. Ana Perez, an ex-government agent, surprises her husband, Pedro Perez, when a delivery of a few large boxes shows up at their door. She identifies the delivery as a start of a new life with her new professional title, "Ana Perez, CHB." Ana's new life is a complete textbook package to study for the Customs and Border Protection Customs House Broker (CHB) license exam. Ana sees her fluency in Spanish and living in Miami, the world hub for the import/export of South and Central America and the Caribbean, as an opportunity to start her new business as a Customs Broker. Ana has to study harder than she ever thought to pass the exam, but she has to work harder to get her first client and get the business rolling.
