A young corporate lawyer from Los Angeles is deported to a tiny village in Mexico after it’s discovered that his immigrant parents faked his birth certificate
SYNOPSIS:
When Ricky was just a baby, his family crossed the border determined to make a better life in America. His parents got the best forged documents money could buy and built a comfortable “American” life in Los Angeles. They only spoke English, cooked American food, listened to American music, and raised Ricky like any typical American kid... Never revealing to him that he was actually born in Mexico.
Now an adult, Ricky is working his way up the corporate ladder, and striving to realize the “American Dream”.
But an unfortunate encounter with U.S. Immigration reveals that his birth certificate was a fake and he’s deported to his parent’s tiny village in Mexico.
The villagers welcome Ricky with open arms, even though they are a little puzzled by the city slicker gringo that doesn’t even speak Spanish.
Life in the big city didn’t prepare Ricky for country living, and he struggles hilariously with the customs and daily hardships of life in a remote village, where he will learn what it means to be Mexican… whether he likes it or not.
