Summary: Espaldas Mojadas tells a timeless and poignant tale dramatizing the plight of Mexico migrant workers in the U.S.A. Mexican worker, Rafael Amendola is in trouble because of a barfight and in need of work, crosses the Rio Grande with the paid help of Frank Mendoza. North of the border, Mendoza’s American partner, Mr. Sterling, gives work to Raphael and other illegal migrants but also ruthlessly exploits them. Rafael does not adapt to his new life in the U.S., he lives in fear of being deported and faces exploitation and constant discrimination. Ultimately, he returns to Mexico where he has a final confrontation with Mr. Sterling.
