In a bustling wasteland of stolen cars, mechanics and street hustlers, Alejandro (Alejandro Polanco), a tough and ambitious street orphan, and his older sister, Isamar (Isamar Gonzales), must rely on each other to survive. Living and working in the Iron Triangle, a sprawling junkyard in Queens, New York, the two find their dreams threatened by the hard truths of life, only to find hope and salvation in one another. (official distributor synopsis)

Or how little Alejandro completely missed the American dream. The certain dullness of the somewhat dragging running time is more than compensated for by a sincerity and unpredictability not often seen in similar films.
