La Misma Luna (Under the Same Moon)


The love between a mother and a son knows no boundaries.

Wikipedia:
"Under the Same Moon (Bajo la Misma Luna) is a Spanish language and an English language film starring Adrian Alonso, Eugenio Derbez and Kate del Castillo. The film tells parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos (Alonso), and his mother, Rosario (del Castillo). In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again."

You may need a tissue within the first ten minutes, be forewarned. This is a beautiful love story about the bond between mother and child. Despite being set in Mexico and the United States, these themes are Universal.

truly touching and heartbreakingly beautiful.
