Used Parts
Aarón Fernández makes him feature film debut in this tale of hope and betrayal set in Mexico City. It's also the first film for lead actor Eduardo Granados whose pivotal portrayal is one of the strongest in recent memory. This contemporary film feels genuine with an exciting vision and sound and gives us a different side of the immigration problem that has we have only seen from the US perspective. Ivan, a teenager with a dream to move to the US with his uncle, takes up stealing auto parts in order to collect the money for cross over. The film also paints an accurate portrait of teenage life that we don't see so often on the screen. YRCinema's coverage of AFI Fest 2007.
