In a opening moment that frames the story, a speech at a World Bank conference proclaims that Mexico has vanquished poverty and frames the country’s progress as a fixed achievement.

He dreams aloud of giving her a life he believes she deserves—things as simple as a car, a house, and the chance to build a family together.
