Based on the award-winning novel by acclaimed writer Rafael Ramírez Heredia
Honduran teenager Sabina Rivas intends to get to the United States, harboring dreams of becoming a famous singer and distancing herself from her former young lover, Jovany, now a vicious gang member. To traverse the Suchiate River (the first stage of the journey to the US) and to dream about a better life is easy. The terrible challenge is to cross Mexico: Sabina is confined on the Mexican-Guatemalan border by the brothel matron, the Mexican Consul, the Mexican and American migratory agents, the drug trafficking networks, the army, the gangs, and her unfortunate reunion with Jovany.
