Synopsis
From director Chris Weitz (About a Boy) comes the heartfelt drama A Better Life. Carlos (Demián Bichir) is a gardener living in East L.A. who performs landscaping work for wealthy clients across town. As he tries to make ends meet, he struggles to keep his son Luis (José Julián) away from gangs and immigration agents. A Better Life is a touching, poignant, multi-generational story about a father’s love and the lengths a parent will go to give his child the opportunities he never had.
