Black and white UCLA Student Film, Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. A social drama featuring a young Chicano man who moves unevenly between the world of a Eastside Los Angeles gang and his private home with his mother. The film is rooted in a distinctive sense of place in East Los Angeles locations and Chicano fashion, through an Italian neorealist lens.
