In the tradition of Amores Perros, the stories in “Contra Todo” paint a tapestry of experiences depicting Latino American life in the US.

In Crazy Life, LA native Dulce’s love for Chuy makes her question right and wrong. In Entre Dos, a doctor compromises his ethical code in order to save the life of his 10 year-old son. Traveling to Mexico City can be dangerous, especially in El Soldado, where Gabo’s car gets towed, and he’s stuck in a bad part of town. In Mizery, a Latino transsexual facing multiple discriminations, survives the streets of Boston, while Boquita addresses the taboo issue of homosexuality in the Latino community.
