The story

Alejandro Lopez narrates the events of his father Juan Lopez's life, and how by selling oranges he changed their lives. A man named Juan is born on a strawberry field in Bakersfield, California, but due to hardship, his mother decided to relocate to Mexico. As an undocumented citizen (due to no proof of US citizenship), Juan struggles in Los Angeles not only to get a green card, but to care solely for Alejandro after Juan's wife's death.
