Institute History
Description
After the brutal murder of their father, two teenage children in Jalisco, Enrique and Rosa, decide to head north to Mexico and the United States to make a better life for themselves. With determination, they make the grueling trip and become illegal aliens in Los Angeles, always living in fear of deportation. Enrique runs into an amazing opportunity for a good job and citizenship, but learns he must abandon Rosa. Ultimately, Rosa and Enrique find that surviving is more than staying alive—it is also remembering who you are.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
