An ode to the children of migrants who have been taken away. A Mexican American boy takes on heavy responsibilities when his family is torn apart. Mateo’s life is turned upside down the day U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents show up unsuccessfully seeking his Pa at his New York City bodega. The Garcias live in fear until the day both parents are picked up; his Pa is taken to jail and his Ma to a detention center.
