N2  - 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.
