Manuel disappeared many years ago in Mexico, leaving his wife, Maria, and daughter, Catalina, without resources or income to fend for themselves in an unforgiving urban environment. Maria and Catalina, in their abandonment, emigrated to the United States to start a new life for themselves. Catalina matured in this new land, married and now had her own family. Manuel had also immigrated to the United States many years later and, by chance, he comes across his daughter. Somehow Catalina found the strength to allow Manuel to have a relationship with her and her family. Manuel made amends with his daughter and her family, and he was now able to become the grandfather that his grandchildren always wanted. Manuel developed a special relationship with his grandson, Joaquin, who shared his adolescent struggles with his grandpa. Manuel gives Joaquin advice and encouragement based on a long life of failures, challenges, and triumphs. We make mistakes in life, but it is possible to get over the pain, make amends, and reconcile. That's the way it was with Joaquin's grandpa.
