This is America as seen through the eyes of Pepe, a naïve south-of-the-border immigrant searching for his grandmother's dying wish -- the "Mexican Dream,"
or $2000 down on a home in the US and a lifetime mortgage.
Coming from a much simpler world, Pepe and his best friend Santo (the inanimate Patron Saint of Immigrants) cross the border to find an interesting assortment of
characters in the United States. From real estate moguls and day laborers to Mexican Telenovela stars and dead grandmothers, everyone plays their part in Pepe s
journey, all of them struggling to find their own version of the American Dream .
With its own humorous take on the immigration problem, Pepe & Santo vs America was inspired by immigrant dramas such as La Misma Luna and El Norte.
It seeks to celebrate Latino culture and show the immigrant struggle in a way few other films have: through COMEDY.
