An immersive story of the daily lives of children and their families surviving only by tirelessly laboring in the poorest rural areas of the Mexican countryside.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
His film opens with a lullaby, and while there is indeed something soothing in his images of repetitive, backbreaking toil, the music also serves as a reminder of childhood lost.
Slant Magazine by Jesse Cataldo
Assembled from short, naturalistic shots of people at work, the documentary becomes a bittersweet testament to labor and a damning representation of a vicious cycle, its images speaking entirely for themselves.
Toward the end of the film, a few hard-hitting cuts between young and old brings the title's meaning home: These children have an inescapable life of drudgery before them, and there's little likelihood it will change anytime soon.
