It will be performed in its original Spanish at seven of the performances, and the English translation, by Jorge Ignacio Cortinas, will be performed at the other 12 performances.  

After the death of their mother, two Mexican brothers are sent to their grandmother so their father can find work in America. When their grandmother dies, the two are sent to live with an aunt and uncle. As their loneliness deepens, the brothers decide to set out to cross the border to find their father.
