DramaThriller

A 24 hour period in the lives of Fausto and Jesus, two undocumented Mexican day-laborers in L.A. Each day another task, each day the same pressure to find money. They go about their daily routine, standing on the corner at the Home Improvement Store waiting for work to come. Today, the job they are given is well paid compared to their poor usual wages.

VIBE

This film feels like a raw, unflinching look at the daily grind. It's a tense, quiet observation of struggle and perseverance, capturing the weight of survival in a system that often overlooks its most vulnerable.
