Synopsis

Suffocated by debt, JJ, a young white trash woman from the United States, escapes from Los Angeles to Baja California, Mexico, in search of an old lover to save her from her tumultuous existence. She is accompanied by Esmeralda, a 14-year-old Mexican teenager who runs away from home and offers her a tempting sum of money if she agrees to take her to see her father. Always with the threat of being discovered, they embark on an adventure through the desert in which JJ's bad decisions will complicate things more and more; But, along the way, a special relationship will emerge between the two.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 24

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
