A subtly brutal account of young people's experience of fleeing poverty
Juan, Sara and Samuel, three teenagers from the slums of Guatemala, travel to the US in search of the land of opportunity, leaving behind their life of poverty. On their journey through Mexico, they meet Chauk, an Indian from Chiapas who doesn't speak Spanish. Travelling together in cargo trains, walking on the railroad tracks, they soon have to face a harsh reality.
