Los bastardos

2008 | United States, France, Mexico | Color | 1h 30 min.

24 hours in the lives of Fausto and Jesús, two undocumented Mexican day-laborers in l.a. Their daily routine consists of standing at a corner, outside the Home Improvement Store, and waiting for work offers. Exhausted of living day by day and always under the pressure of making enough money to get by, they decide to carry a gun in their pockets, and finally earn what they think is fair.
