Sinopsis
In search of a better life, Max (8) and Leo (5) are taken from Mexico to Albuquerque (US) by their mother, Lucia. While waiting her return from work, trough their window’s apartment, the kids gaze into the Latino and Asian notorious neighborhood. They listen the tales, rules of conduct and English lessons recorded by her on a old tape recorder. They build an imaginary universe with their drawings and dream about mom’s promise of going to Disneyland.
