Will tomorrow really be better?<br /> <br /><br /><br />After her father is killed in a fishing accident in the seas near their small Mexican village, Lupita’s mother makes a difficult decision. Lupita and her big brother, Salvador, must try to cross the border into America to earn money to support their young brothers and sisters. America turns out not to be the land of opportunity they had hoped. But Lupita never stops hoping for a better <i>mañana</i> (tomorrow).<br /> <br /><br /><br />This timeless tale of courage and sacrifice is as contemporary as today’s headlines.
