Juan, Sara, and Samuel, all 15 years old, flee from Guatemala towards the USA. On their journey through Mexico they meet Chauk, a Tzotzil Indian who does not speak Spanish and who has no official documents. The movie is a combination of a Huckleberry Finn-like adventure story and a brutal reality drama highlighting the exploitation of young migrants. Alongside the shocking and often heartbreaking scenes of the the teens' many tribulations, there are moments of lyricism and humor. There is no sentimentality at all in the director's treatment of these kids' plight one reason why the film has such an impact.
