When their father is killed and their mother arrested by the military, Rosa Xuncax (Zaide Silvia Gutierrez) and her brother Enrique (David Villalpando) flee the coffee fields of Guatemala for el norte, a place they know only from pictures in their godmother Josefita's Better Homes and Gardens magazines. Alone in a strange land, they have only each other. Their trip is often harrowing, taking them through the teeming squalor of Tijuana to the anonymous streets of Los Angeles, but there is time for joy and laughter, too. |
