      abstract = {The film is an adaptation of the prize-winning novel, '...  y no se lo tragó la tierra' by Tomas Rivera. Set in 1952,  and seen through the eyes of Marcos, a twelve-year-old boy,  the story follows a family's migrant journey through a year  in their lives. Marcos is the second son of a migrant  farmworker family; his brother is missing in action in the  Korean war. The family travels to Minnesota, following the  crops. The housing is awful; sometimes the boss furnishes  no water to the workers, and TB goes untreated. In good  times the pay is [dollar]15 a day for adults, half that for  children. For a few sordid weeks, Marcos' parents leave him  in the care of a corrupt couple. He is expelled from school  for fighting, and he finds solace in a graveyard. The boy's  recollections of the poignant, sometimes funny and  sometimes terrifying experiences become a magical voyage of  self-discovery.},
