A 16mm black & white film about Josie, a homegirl from the hood, who feels alienated ever since her brother Alex and "papi chulo" cousin Papo became lovers. As children, they made a promise to stay together. The promise read: "Cousins Forever". As adults, they share an apartment. The boys are unaware that Josie has drilled a hole on the wall. She feels that peeping is pathetic but it's the only way to feel included.
