This is the story of Teresa Garcia and Benito Cruz, two Mexican-Americans. In 1980 Teresa buys a fake visa and comes alone to Los Angeles to care for her sick aunt. Then she stays, working in a dress factory to send money home to Mexico. Benito crawls through a pipe into California, where he works as a migrant farmworker. They meet and fall in love. Benito moves to Los Angeles and works in a factory. They want to marry, but they can’ t because they are illegal.

They work hard and save money to go to Mexico and bring Teresa’ s sister back. Finally they have enough money, but when they go to Mexico City, there is a great earthquake.
