Downbeat, life-on-the-streets drama from director Ramin Bahrani ('Man Push Cart') about a young orphan boy's struggle to survive in New York. Desperate to make a life for himself and his 16-year-old sister Isamar (Isamar Gonzales), Latino orphan Alejandro (Alejandro Polanco) spends his waking hours working in a run down car body repair workshop nestling within one of the city's largest junkyards. Now, as he approaches adolescence, Alejandro, the street savvy boy surrounded by adults, must quickly learn what it takes to become a man if he is to build a future for both himself and Isamar.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.                                A street-smart orphan determined to make a better life for himself and his sixteen year-old sister spends his days working in an auto body repair shop in director Ramin Bahrani's gritty coming of age drama. Alejandro may be a young boy on the verge of adolescence, but his tough persona and driving ambition give the impression of a man twice his age. As with many street kids Alejandro has been forced to mature before his time. Now, in a disheveled junkyard on the outer edge of Queens, New York, one boy will learn what it means to become a man as he sets out to build a brighter future for the only family he knows.
