Synopsis:

A used car part vendor and his fourteen year-old nephew currently living in Mexico dream of emigrating to Chicago and starting a new life in director Aaron Frenandez's entry into the 2007 Montreal World Film Festival. Realizing that they will need more money than they currently have if they hope to hire the pollero who promises to spirit them across the border, Uncle Jaime schools young Ivan in the highly lucrative business of stolen car parts. Not only does young Ivan prove particularly adept to filling his uncle's shady "invoice orders," but soon the young boy has even invited his best friend Efrain to help out around the shop. Just as Ivan begins to imagine the Windy City breeze blowing though his hair, however, he is heartbroken to discover that Uncle Jaime hasn't been entirely honest about his plans.

Ivan, a 14-year old boy, lives with his uncle Jaime, a mediocre dealer of used car parts. Both of them dream with a better life and are stashing away their money in order to emigrate illegally to Chicago shortly. When Jaime realizes that he needs much more money than he expected in order to pay the 'Coyote' that will help them cross the border, he decides to introduce his nephew into the world of car-part theft. Ivan learns quickly the know-how of his new trade and convinces Efrain, his best friend, to help him. The kids enjoy themselves together and carry out Jaime's orders skillfully until Ivan realizes that his uncle's intentions for the trip have changed since they first made their plans.

Ivan is a 14-year-old boy and lives with his Uncle Jaime, a mediocre businessman of used car parts. Both of them dream of a better life and are saving to immigrate to Chicago. They soon realize they need more money to pay the pollero. Jaime decides to introduce his nephew to the world of stolen car parts. Ivan is a quick learner and invites his friend Efrain to help him. Both teenagers start to have fun and fulfill the uncle's "invoice orders" until Ivan finds out that his uncle has opposite intentions for the trip they are saving and planning on doing together.
