An ambitious sweeping epic made for a meager $5 1/2 million about three generations of a Mexican-American family.
Too sprawling and disappointingly sentimental, this family saga is nonetheless Gregory Nava's breakthrough feature, made on a larger canvas with bigger budget and name cast (Jimmy Smits, Edward James Olmos, Esai Morales).
Touching and often mystical portrait of a multi-generational Mexican-American family in East Los Angeles.

- Jimmy Sanchez: I know you. I know you, Isabel. I saw my brother get killed right in front of me... just like your father. And I was just a boy.
