The story

What Is Los bastardos About?

The premise of Los bastardos without spoilers.

During a single 24‑hour period, Fausto and Jesus—two undocumented Mexican day‑laborers in Los Angeles—carry the constant pressure to find money. Their routine has them standing on the corner by a Home Improvement Store, waiting for work. When a job finally arrives, it pays far better than the meager wages they usually earn, brief financial relief.
