Upside Down Home

Gerardo, Omar, and Santos are teenagers living in a workingclass community in Tijuana. In addition to their friendship, they share an emptiness at home: their mothers are away all day working in factories. Each of the teens copes with monotony, loneliness, and the desire to be noticed.
