Movie description:
For most of his life, Angel has been a migrant worker, helping his family as they move from place to place picking crops. When a phone won’t work, Angel enlists Big Joe’s aid to repair it and from then on a friendship develops. Joe and the boy team up to start a rose-growing business. A call from Angel’s father comes, the family must leave. Angel can stay with Joe and the promise of a future, or he can go with his family and continue in the uncertain lifestyle of his parents.
»Angel and Big Joe« is about realities that are always important to human beings – friendship, family, ambition, loyalty, dreams – this film will never grow old. While it may be of interest to scholars and historians, this short movie will surely be valued by »ordinary« people who simply love to watch great movies.
This short film focuses on the relationship between Joe, a telephone liner man, and Angel, a fifteen year old migrant worker. Left in New Jersey at the season’s end, he, his mother and little brother depend on the pay phone near their house to stay in contact with his father, who has gone in search of work elsewhere. When the phone won’t work, Angel enlists Big Joe’s aid to repair it, and from then on a friendship develops. Disillusioned by his humbling experiences in the so-called land of opportunity, Angel trusts no one, but Big Joe sets about to prove that there’s at least one person Angel can trust. Joe and the boy team up to start a rose-growing business, but soon Angel faces the painful dilemma of deciding whether one’s responsibility is to others or to oneself.
