Their adventure begins with a drive across the Rio Grande, where a majestic eagle statue welcomes them to Mexico. The duo embarks on a delightful routine, visiting their favorite restaurant, engaging in friendly conversations at Uncle Mateo's jewelry shop, indulging in icy popsicles, and making a pit stop at the local pharmacy.
But amidst the joys of their exploration, the boy and his father embark on a mission of compassion. They dedicate a significant portion of their time to visiting friends seeking asylum, offering them much-needed supplies and a sense of solidarity.
