Reyna, Mago, and Carlos suffer difficult and even abusive treatment at their Abuela Evila’s house. Abuela Evila is not happy about looking after the children, and reminds Mami to send money every week.
Mami drops the children off at the home of Abuela Evila-their father’s mother. Reyna and her older siblings Mago and Carlos beg Mami not to leave, but she insists she must leave to join their father, who has already been working in the US for years in order to make money for their family. In 1980, four-year-old Reyna Grande’s mother is preparing to leave Mexico for the United States-“El Otro Lado,” or “The Other Side,” as it is known in their impoverished city of Iguala.
