Partes usadas
Synopsis
Iván, 14, lives in Mexico City with his uncle Jaime, a mediocre used auto parts dealer. The two are saving up together to illegally emigrate to Chicago. When Jaime realizes he needs more money than expected for the trip, he introduces his nephew to auto parts theft. Iván quickly picks up the tricks of the trade and convinces his best friend, Efraín, to help him. The boys, while having fun together, carefully fulfill Jaime's orders — until Iván realizes that his uncle's intentions for the trip are different from what they had planned together.
