After years on the streets of Mexico City, can 16-year-old Juan Carlos overcome his traumatic childhood and make a better future at a home for runaway boys? Filmmaker Nicole Opper follows Juan during a tumultuous and transformative year as he strives to overcome educational deficits, learns a trade and prepares to confront the abusive father whose affection he still craves.
