The Golden Dream


The Golden Dream Spanish La jaula de oro literally The Cage of Gold is a 2013 Mexican drama film directed by Spanish born Mexican director Diego QuemadaDez. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival where QuemadaDiez won the A Certain Talent award for his directing work and the ensemble cast.

Like the 1987 film, and the song, the plot concerns Central American immigration to the United States. However, unlike the earlier film that concerned itself with a successful and middleaged Mexican immigrant, the plot of this film deals with younger undocumented immigrants.Samuel, Sara and Juan, three teenagers from Guatemala, decide to leave poverty by going to the United States. After crossing the Mexican border by boat, they find another immigrant, a tzotil native called Chauk who does not know Spanish but is able to befriend Sara. When they arrive in the town of Chiapas, they busk for money to eat and drink but are later caught by Mexican Immigration Police agents, who steal Juans boots and threaten Chauk with a gun, before deporting all of them back to Guatemala. ........
