For Pablo there is one thing more precious than life itself - his daughter Christina.
After a hurricane robs him of his pregnant wife and his home in Honduras, Pablo
and Christina move to California to build a new life on their own. Dramatic
events on the day of the Christina's sixth birthday will change their lives
forever.
Pablo accidentally hits a little girl with his employer's truck. An illegal
immigrant with no papers and no driving license, he is terrified and is forced
to take his daughter on the run. They go undercover to escape a police manhunt
which escalates when the injured girl dies. Along the way they are joined by
Soid a story hungry documentary journalist who offers to help them get to Mexico,
if they'll let her film their odyssey. The film tackles the issue of illegal
immigration and how individuals deal with it. Ultimately Pablo is a loving and
responsible parent who made one fatal mistake, but the system will hunt him
down and make him pay for it. Jesxs Nebot deserves praise firstly for taking
on the script, direction and lead role, and secondly for creating a touching
story, a thrilling chase and a socially aware drama all in one. AK
