Born in East L.A. (1987)
Rudy, Amerikaner mexikanischer Herkunft, kann sich bei einer Razzia der Einwanderungsbehörde nicht ausweisen und wird ohne Geld und Papiere nach Mexiko abgeschoben. Nach einigen ebenso irrwitzigen wie vergeblichen Versuchen, in die USA zu "fliehen", jobbt er als Türsteher einer Striptease-Bar und verliebt sich in die hübsche Dolores. Plötzlich bekommt er eine unerwartet Chance, in die USA zurückzukehren, doch dann müsste er seine große Liebe zurück lassen. Rudy steht vor einer schweren Entscheidung.
