The border fence between Mexico and the United States is part of their lives; Mexican youths use it as a volleyball net on the beach, holding their own kind of international matches with their opposite numbers on the other side. When Nero scales the metres-high metal bars we suspect that he has done this often before: because nothing is going to divert him from his dream of becoming a US citizen. He follows the traces of his older brother which lead him to Los Angeles and the mansions of the rich and famous where he gazes incredulously at this very different lifestyle with its pools and double garages that he soon hopes will be his. His only chance of quickly acquiring a green card, however, is by volunteering for military service. Before he knows it, Nero finds himself in the desert landscape of the war zones of the Middle East, fighting for his citizenship with a machine gun in his hand.

Out of necessity, he ends up working for small business owner Reynaldo and his colleague Jason, cleaning antique public urinals at night. Ezequiel is so ashamed of his new job that he doesn't want to tell his wife Marta or his son Stevie. Ezequiel actually wants his son to have a proper, academic education, which will open all doors for him later on.
