01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Like La jaula de oro (1987 film), and the Jaula de oro (song), the plot concerns immigration to the United States from Latin American countries. However, unlike the earlier film that concerned itself with a successful and middle-aged Mexican immigrant, the plot of this film deals with younger undocumented immigrants.
