After the army destroys their village and family, a brother and sister, teenagers who just barely escaped the massacre, decide they must flee to "El Norte" ("the North", i.e., the USA). After receiving clandestine help from friends and humorous advice from a veteran immigrant on strategies for traveling through Mexico, they make their way by truck, bus and other means to Los Angeles, where they try to make a new life as young, uneducated, and illegal immigrants.

Quotes:

Juan Gallardo: [to Antonio Lopez and Encarnacíon] They say that when a ship is sinking all the rats leave.::Juan Gallardo: Good-bye, rats! But you're mistaken if you think I'm sinking!

Juan Gallardo: Carmen ceta, you're the only true one in the world.

Juan Gallardo: The cow hasn't been born yet that can give birth to the bull that can hurt me!

Juan Gallardo: [to Garabato] I wouldn't admit this to anybody else in the world... but always when I'm dressing like this... there's a feel of rust in my throat, the taste of death... Fear! But it's gone when I step into the arena. The minute I hear the music, the yell of the crowd, it's all right again.

Natalio Curro: [to members of the bullfighting crowd] You're lucky to be here this afternoon. You'll see history made. From now on the history of the bull ring will be figured as B.G. and A. G. - Before Gallardo and After Gallardo! I, Curro, say it!

Natalio Curro: At last Seville has a matador, the greatest matador of all history, a saint, the first man of the world! The day he was born, there was salt in the air! A great quantity of salt! [laughs]

Maybe that's why I want so much to keep him.::Doña Sol des Muire: Senora Gallardo, is there anything I can offer you?::Carmen Espinosa: Yes, my husband!

Juan Gallardo: [to Antonio] Well, now as my manager it'll be much easier for you to rob me!

Natalio Curro: [referring to Dona Sol at the arena] If this is death in the afternoon, she is death in the evening.
