Two young teen siblings from Honduras are forced into parenthood as illegal immigrants in Mexico.
The relationship between Ale and Rocío faces a big change when their mother is unjustly imprisoned and they naturally become parents of their little brothers. First, all in good disposition and humor until their situation as illegal immigrants in Mexico is confronted with unexpected emotions and gender roles, discrimination, immigration systems and inability to enjoy their youth let alone access to education. Eventually, the communication between siblings begins to fail and they learn to believe in each other to find hope on the other side of the wall that threatens to separate them.
The film carefully shows a reality that invites audiences to shift prejudiced views toward immigrants. It is important to share such stories in educational spaces because it will contribute to a more empathetic society.
