Manuel vive en Estados Unidos, pero su origen está más allá de las fronteras. Es mexicano y vive en un universo marginal, rodeado de pobreza y violencia. Los ojos de Manuel sirven para explorar la realidad que lo rodea y para participar, como puede, en ella. Gracias a su mirada conoceremos a su familia y las diferencias que la caracterizan, así como un barrio donde la supervivencia nunca está garantizada.
