Movie description:
Rufino (15) roams the streets of Mexico City. He tries his best to look after the youngest homeless children who survive on a diet of glue and hash and sleep in the sewers at night. Rufino earns some money doing hard and dirty work, such as moving meat around a slaughterhouse. Rufino sells a bag of cocaine for Ochoa, a corrupt cop who has Rufino’s district in his power and is also the lover of Rufino’s adoptive mother. He decides to use the money to flee the city with his girlfriend and her baby. Ochoa sets off after them. Just as Rufino seems able to escape, he finds out that his real father is still alive. Obsessed by this knowledge, Rufino doesn’t want to leave until he has found his father.
Rufino is fifteen going on about thirty. He’s gotten rather good at surviving on Mexico City’s mean streets, but wants to escape the life of odd jobs and petty crime that marks the only existence he’s ever known. Risking his life by ripping off illicit cash that belongs to Ochoa, a sadistic crooked cop, Rufino decides it’s time to realize his dream of escaping to the ocean. When the day arrives that he and his girlfriend Xochitl are supposed to leave, however, a jabbering old hermit tells him his supposedly dead father is in fact alive. His desire to find his father before he leaves wins out and, with Xochitl faithfully waiting for him in a city park, Rufino embarks on a persistent – and potentially lethal – quest to track him down.
Based on a book by Jesús González-Dávila.
