This film portrays the plight of 2 illegal immigrants, as they flee to the U.S. from Guatemala. But this movie is much, MUCH more than that. It cuts through all the stereotypes and attitudes the socially and economically privileged harbor against the foreigner. You need not know English or Spanish to understand this movie, because you feel everything so completely through the two main characters.
Anyone with any heart at all will enjoy this movie. With typical latin fatalism, this movie illustrates how people must sometimes bear the unbearable, because they have no other choice.
