In breathtaking words, Germán López Rosales from Mexico talks about his experience during a human smuggling operation from border town Laredo, Texas, to San Antonio. Locked up inside a tractor-trailer, eight out of 39 immigrants died that day next to Germán because of extreme heat and lack of water. Two others died later in the hospital. Distant wide angle shots of Texan suburbs and highways and the film's slow editing rhythm contribute to put Germán's testimony at the very center of the film.
