A BORDER STORY

Drama

Eliseo Gomez is heading north to the United States to provide a better life for his wife and daughter. At the border his journey takes an unexpected turn. As he crosses the relentless desert, with very little food and water, Eliseo is physically and emotionally drained. Just when he feels the situation is impossible, he stumbles upon a young boy, also lost and suffering.
