A pair of corrupt INS Agents deport an Italian-American action star to Mexico, where he attempts to find his way back across the border with some help from a lovable gang or orphans. Gianni de Carlo (Nicholas Turturro) is in a bit of a pickle; despite being a legal American citizen, he's stuck in Mexico with no means of getting back to his family or career. Perhaps with the help of mischievous moppet Juan (Nicholas Turturro III) and friends, Gianni will find a way to outsmart small-town bullies Fernando (Paul Rodriguez) and Ernesto (Felipe Esparza) and the other local eccentrics blocking his escape route. Featuring Talia Shire, David Proval, Taylor Negron, and Michael Rapaport.
