Director's Statement

Limite is my creative reaction to a real event. On an evening in 2013, a teenage boy attempted to enter the U.S. with two bottles of unidentified liquid. When questioned by the U.S. border agents, he claimed it was apple juice. Suspecting the true contents, the agents demanded he prove it by drinking the liquid. This story reminded me of my own teenage experiences. Growing up in a poor country, I know first-hand the pressures at play for a teenager in that kind of environment. I felt compelled to tell this story because I knew that teenager could have been me.

Category: Drama.
Themes: Crime, Border, Relationships.
