Burdened by poverty, illiteracy, and vulnerability as Mexican
immigrants to California's Coachella Valley, three generations of
Gonzalez men turn to vices or withdraw into depression. As brothers
Rigoberto and Alex grow to manhood, they are haunted by the traumas
of their mother's early death, their lonely youth, their father's
desertion, and their grandfather's invective. Rigoberto's success
in escaping-first to college and then by becoming a writer-is
blighted by his struggles with alcohol and abusive relationships,
while Alex contends with difficult family relations, his own rocky
marriage, and fatherhood. Descending into a dark emotional space
that compromises their mental and physical health, the brothers
eventually find hope in aiding each other. This is an honest and
revealing window into the complexities of Latino masculinity, the
private lives of men, and the ways they build strength under the
weight of grief, loss, and despair.
