Sugar

Sugar is about Miguel “Sugar” Santos (instantly endearing newcomer Algenis Perez Soto) a twenty year old from the Dominican Republic with a howitzer arm who dream of playing baseball in the USA. His dream seems at hand when he gets called up to a fictitious Midwestern double A team but gets pitched a dose of reality when faced with the competition of working up through the minors before making it to “The Show”. At first he deals well with the pressure but then has to deal with a crisis of confidence - all the while he’s treated with such abundant kindness by people that he can barely communicate with and whose culture for the most part is a complete mystery to him. Sugar is a savoury and bitter sweet tale.
