NORTEADO

Andrés travels from Oaxaca to Tijuana to cross the US border. Things don’t go as planned and he has to stay in Tijuana where he starts working in a grocery store. There, he meets Elia, Cata and Asensio. What Andrés finds in Tijuana makes him think about what he’s about to do and become aware of what he’s leaving behind. Norteado talks about the illusion that the United States represents for those who decide to cross the border in search of a better life. Winner at the Rotterdam and San Sebastian Film Festivals.
