30,000 hours and 1 second tells the story of a son and his parents, separated by 300,000 hours of distance. The son, typical of the decimated generation, lives a monotonous and boring life, where he is not at any time since he still cannot find his identity. The parents, victims of state terrorism and who make up those 30,000 disappeared, will suffer any type of torture until their lives are finally taken from them. A clock, which represents the inexorable temporality between these two stories, will be our driver in this story that searches for the truth through memory to rebuild an identity that was stolen.
A 24 hour period in the lives of Fausto and Jesus, two undocumented Mexican day-laborers in L.A. Each day another task, each day the same pressure to find money. They go about their daily routine, standing on the corner at the Home Improvement Store waiting for work to come. Today, the job they are given is well paid compared to their poor usual wages.
