About the film
Mexican filmmaker Samuel Kishi Leopo tells a moving autobiographical story in this film dealing with the topic of emigration.
Young brothers Max and Leo, together with their mother Lucía, have crossed the border from Mexico and have headed north into the United States. Like most everyone who undertakes such a perilous journey into the unknown, the humble trio seeks a better life. However, they soon realize the seemingly-insurmountable difficulties involved in carving out a comfortable niche in their new country. Meanwhile, as Max and Leo spend time together awaiting their mother’s return from her new job, their imaginations compel them to construct an imaginary world through drawings and fantasize about Lucía’s promise of a visit to a land where dreams come true…namely “Disneyland”.
Genuine, authentic, and heartfelt, Los Lobos interweaves powerful documentary footage, fictional drama, and whimsical animation into a unique and breathtaking film that tells the the story of two brothers who are eager and hopeful to explore the strange new world just beyond the door of their tiny apartment.
