Both of them dream with a better life and are stashing away their money in order to emigrate ilegally to Chicago shortly. When Jaime realizes that he needs much more money than he expected in order to pay the "Coyote" that will help them cross the border, he decides to introduce his nephew into the world of car-part theft.

Одиннадцатилетний Чава живет с мамой, сестрой и братом. А вокруг — война. Самая страшная, гражданская.

И через пару месяцев лучший друг готов уже разрядить в тебя всю обойму за неверно сказанное слово. Но жизнь продолжается. Дети остаются детьми. Ходят в школу, запускают в небо фонарики, играют, влюбляются…
