In the vast, sunbaked landscape of Mexico, a young boy named Carlitos lives with his grandmother. But his heart lives in Los Angeles, California, with his mother, Rosario. Each Sunday, without fail, Carlitos and Rosario bridge the 2,000-mile border between them using the only tool they have: a payphone. They speak bajo la misma luna —under the same moon—a promise that though separated by politics and geography, they are connected by love and the celestial body that watches over them both.
: The unexpected bond between Carlitos and Enrique (played by Eugenio Derbez), a reluctant companion he meets during his journey, provides both humor and the film's most moving moments.
