O ovom filmu

Many earnest films have been made recently about the struggles of Latin American migrants trying to cross into the U.S. for a better tomorrow; CRUZANDO isn't one of them. This madcap adventure follows the journey of two Mexican no hopers. CRUZANDO chronicles the real life hazards of such a trip but is as much a comedy as it is a drama. About a week before the birth of his first child, Manuel learns that his long lost father is about to be executed in Texas. Against his wife's wishes he heads north, abandoning his job cleaning peepshow booths at a strip club while being tracked by the club's brutal bouncer. Manuel's video cam-toting pal Diego tags along, planning a documentary of the trek. Mistaken identities, family traumas, and dehydration complicate Manuel's quest, but he finally learns a familiar lesson: There's no place like home even if home is not all that great. In the tradition of Bajo La Misma Luna.
