Storyline: 

'La Calle' is based on a trio of Dominican children whose parents live in the Heights. The father, a well-known neighborhood heroin dealer, and the mother, an addict of painkillers, both subsequently get murdered in front of their children. The siblings, each with their own distinct personalities, come out of this horrible situation making the best of life with what they know and love. Jayla, an artist whose passion revolves around designing fashion, is the quaintest and most subdued of the three. Maximo, which is the athletic and most aggressive of the trio, displays his personality as a carbon copy of his father. So much so that Hector, the father, appears in a spiritual form in dreams to Maximo, guiding him to find out who killed his parents. Rosé, the protagonist, is an artist who throughout the melee has kept his eye on the prize and plans to rid his siblings of the poverty in which they grew up in. He is the driving force and backbone of the storyline. La Calle shows us an in depth look into the impoverished lives of three Latino children in the hood, whose personalities lend themselves to give us a privileged look into their relative situations.
