Sin Nombre (2009) (original) (raw)

Sayra, a teenager living in Honduras, hungers for a brighter future. A reunion with her long-
estranged father gives Sayra her only real option--emigrating with her father and her uncle
into Mexico and then the United States, where her father now has a new family. Meanwhile,
Casper, is a teenager living in Tapachula, Mexico. A member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang
brotherhood, he has just brought to the Mara a new recruit, 12-year-old Smiley. While
Smiley quickly takes to gang life, Casper tries to protect his relationship with girlfriend
Martha Marlene, keeping their love a secret from the Mara. But when Martha encounters
Tapachula's Mara leader Lil' Mago, she is brutally taken from Casper forever. Sayra and her
relatives manage to cross over into Mexico and join other immigrants waiting at the
Tapachula train yards. When a States-bound freight train arrives one night, they successfully
rush to board--riding atop it, rather than in the cars--as does Lil' Mago, who has
commandeered Casper and Smiley along to rob immigrants. When day breaks, Lil' Mago
makes his move and Casper in turn makes a fateful decision. Casper must now navigate the
psychological gauntlet of his violent existence and the physical one of the unforgiving Mara,
but Sayra bravely allies herself with him as the train journeys through the Mexican
countryside towards the hope of new lives. (less)
