An aged Mexican man recounts a vivid memory of his youth - the year was 1959. At the age of 17, Nino arrived to California from Mexico to live with his father, Chappa, on a modest cattle ranch in the rural coastal Santa Lucia Mountains. Working tedious days as a ranch-hand, Nino found himself trapped within a barbed wire world. Nino could not imagine a life different than the laborious one he led. That was until a cow broke free from the heard and discovered a bizarre opening in the fence. Nino tracked the cow across the fence-line and into the wild unknown. Nino's discovery of the unexplored world beyond the barbed wire fence changed his life forever.
