Lake Tahoe

On a deserted road in the early morning, sixteen-year-old Juan inexplicably crashes the family car into a telegraph pole. He sets off in search of spare parts and help, but in this sleepy Yucatan town his options are limited. His encounters with the few people he does manage to find are gently funny, and only after considerable time has passed do we learn that Juan's father has recently died, his grief stricken mother isn't coping, and his younger brother has been left to fend for himself.
