This highly-acclaimed drama about a brother and sister seeking a better life centers on two young Guatemalans. When their father is killed by government soldiers and their mother taken away, they set out for the "promised land" to the north--El Norte (Southern California and Los Angeles) and discover once they arrive that it is not the paradise they dreamed of. Dialog is mostly in Spanish and Guatemalan-Indian dialect.
