Mariana, an undocumented Mexican mother, searches the outskirts of New York City for her autistic son when he does not return from school. Meanwhile, 13-year-old Ricky embarks on an eleven-day odyssey in the city’s subway system where he confronts a bizarre and indifferent world. An eye-opening view of life on the autism spectrum and a frank exploration of the strains of the immigrant experience, with a breakout performance for young Jesus Sanchez-Velez.
