Story: Determined to move out of the city in order to get his teenage son, Luis (José Julián), away from gangs and into a decent school, an East L.A. illegal immigrant gardener, Carlos Galindo (Demián Bichir), comes into possession of a truck that allows him to take more gardening jobs, earning a better income. But with immigration agents on every corner and vicious gangsters trying to lure his son into a life of crime, it's all a constant struggle just to survive in such an unforgiving city without being deported.

Absolut sehenswerter Film, der das Imigrationsproblem in den USA von einer anderen Seite beleuchtet, nämlich von der Seite der Imigranten. Nachdem wir den Film gesehen hatten, sagte ich: "Scheiß Amis! Zuerst haben sie das Land den Indianern geklaut und jetzt lassen sie niemanden mehr rein. Arrogante Wichser."
