The Assignment stars Rafael Poueriet as Julian J. Torres, an ebullient 37-year old scholarship student who is trying to reframe his life after a troubled youth and time in prison. Opposite Poueriet, Antu Yacob stars as Helen Payne, a brilliant and reserved English professor recovering from tragedy. Wary at first, Dr. Payne is won over by Julian’s intelligence and likability. The two unlikely friends connect through the power of great literature.
