An unconventional road movie about a group of undocumented teen Guatemalan immigrants and their journey to what they hope will be a bright new life in the US. Unfortunately, they are ill-prepared for the precarious journey, and the reality of what awaits them. Using improvisational techniques, director Quemada-Diez - who served his filmmaking apprenticeship under British legend Ken Loach, extracts superb, realistic performances from a young, non-professional cast, allowing their characters room to breathe and develop. A, tough, uncompromising, but moving testament to the power of friendship and camaraderie in the most testing of circumstances.
Classification Contains moderate violence, sexual threat, strong language and natural nudity.
