My Family

The movie is a poignant exploration of an immigrant family spanning three generations as they navigate the tumultuous waters of love, loss, and identity against the backdrop of Los Angeles. Set in the 1930s, Maria and Jose face the challenges of finding each other amidst the deportation struggles common during that era. They build a life together in East L.A., raising their children through the vibrant culture of the 1950s, only to encounter a new set of obstacles with the local law enforcement.As we shift into the '60s and focus on the second generation, we follow Jimmy's journey as he matures from an unguided youth to a responsible adult. He marries Isabel, a Salvadorian refugee, and their union brings forth a child who continues the family narrative. The film delves deep into themes of parenthood, cultural assimilation, and personal growth. Through the family's collective experiences, we witness both triumph and tragedy in equal measure - an authentic portrayal of the immigrant journey that resonates with emotional depth.
