The Journey Begins with Blood on Concrete
In Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, life for teenagers Pulga, Chico, and Pequena unfolds in a world where beauty and brutality exist side by side. The cold Coca-Colas from Don Felicio's corner store and the uniquely blue sky overhead stand in stark contrast to the blood turning brown on concrete and people disappearing only to reappear in fragments. Pulga dreams of becoming an artist while caring for his gentle cousin Chico, who wears his too-small "American Eagle" shirt with innocent pride. Meanwhile, Pequena has just given birth to a baby she refuses to acknowledge-the result of sexual assault by a local gang leader named Rey. Everything changes when Pulga and Chico witness Don Felicio's murder, his throat slashed by Rey and his brother Nestor. At the wake, the murdered man's wife shares a disturbing vision: Pequena riding away on a bloody mattress, and the boys running scared. "Que corran," she warns-they must run. When Rey discovers the boys witnessed his crime, he gives them an impossible choice: join his "army" or die. In this moment, escape becomes their only option. Why does this matter? Because in places where violence becomes as common as breathing, escape isn't just a dream-it's a survival strategy. These teenagers aren't chasing the American Dream; they're fleeing a Guatemalan nightmare.
