Life is magical, and the stars always shine. For 11-year-old Renee and her younger brother Vito, their seemingly rich life in a desert trailer masks deep poverty. After their father’s death, they follow his left-behind survival guide. Gaxiola’s film, with Latin American magical realism, poignantly explores the blurred lines between fantasy and harsh reality.
