Contra Todo...Against All Odds (2006)

Synopsis of Contra Todo...Against All Odds

Directors Michel Franco, Karim Raoul, Dora Pena, and Yuri Makino all pool their talents to craft this Amores Perros-style omnibus detailing the experiences of Latino Americans in the United States. The first tale, entitled "Cyclone," follows a young boy named Miguel as he attempts to navigate the treacherous streets of New York City. Later, after a Los Angeles native weighs her ability to distinguish right from wrong due to falling in love with the wrong man in "Crazy Life," a distinguished doctor puts his career on the line to save the life of his ten year old son in "Entre Dos." "El Soldado" follows a man whose car breaks down in a bad section of the titular town during a trip to Mexico City, and the final tale, entitled "Night Breeze," finds a young girl's origins brought into question when she is confronted by border patrol agents. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
