Synopsis

In breathtaking words, Germán López Rosales from Mexico talks about his experience during a human-smuggling operation from Mexican border town Laredo to San Antonio, Texas. Locked up inside a tractor-trailer, eight out of 39 immigrants died that day next to Germán because of extreme heat and lack of water. Two others died later in the hospital. Distant wide angle shots of the deserted Texan landscapes, suburbs and highways create a strong contrast to Germán's intimate testimony.
