Turning Back/ Jesus Nebot/ 99 menit / Color / USA
Setelah kehilangan istrinya, kandungan dan juga rumahnya tatkala terjadi
angin puyuh di Honduras, Pablo membawa anak berusia 5 tahun (Christina)
bersamanya dan berimigrasi ke USA. Suatu ketika ia menabrak seorang anak
di jalan raya, kehidupannya pun berubah. Pablo menjadi orang yang dicari
polisi karena ternyata ia adalah imigran gelap. Soid pun muncul untuk membantunya
lolos ke negara Meksiko.
After losing
his wife and house to Hurricane Mitch in Honduras, Pablo illegally immigrated
to the United States in an attempt to offer a better future for his five
year old daughter, Cristina. A few months later it is Cristina's birthday,
and Pablo borrows his boss's truck to surprise his daughter at school and
take her to the cinema. On the way there, a dog jumps into his path, and
Pablo quickly jerks the wheel. He loses complete control of the truck and
a tragic accident occurs. Wild thoughts frantically cross his mind - he
has no license, he is an illegal immigrant, and has fatally injured a little
girl. Emotionally caught between what he has done, and his love and care
for Cristina, Pablo will do anything to make sure that his daughter doesn't
become another victim of his tragic destiny.
A very real and noble film with all the right elements - drama, humour,
pathos and suspense. A truly compelling story told with extraordinary sensibility.
