A man sits with his aging father at his speech therapy sessions. One day, the father starts telling the son a story about how he crossed over into the United States from Mexico through Yuma. The son is confused: he’d always thought that his father crossed in through El Centro. His mother denies his father’s story, saying it’s the age and medications getting to him; he crossed through El Centro.
The father then tells a story about a woman that he’d met during one of his crossings, Marina. The mother gets angry because she’d never heard about that lover of the father’s. But she calms down when she realizes that he’s just recounting the plot of an old Rigo Tovar movie. Still, the father insists that it was Yuma. The mother tells her son that she’s not stupid; she picked him up from El Centro. She insists that she’s right.
