Titled “A Better Life,” the film revolves around Carlos, an undocumented gardener whose hopes for building a landscaping business – and the means with which to provide a better life for his teenage son – are pinned on the purchase of a used pickup truck. When the truck is stolen, he finds himself in a familiar predicament: A call to police, the norm for anyone else, could be risky. He doesn’t call, and the film follows father and son as they search for their stolen livelihood.
