Synopsis "norte (in Spanish)"

Norte narra la historia de tres inmigrantes de origen mexicano en EE.UU.

Jesús, de México, deja el colegio y se une a una pandilla de chicos; para impresionarlos, apuñala a una prostituta; Martín, californiano, es un inmigrante de origen mexicano que es ingresado en una clínica donde se le diagnostica un tipo de autismo, pero se convertirá en uno de los mayores representantes del art brut del siglo XX.

Michelle trabaja de camarera en el Taco Hut; su profesor, Fabián, con el que tuvo una aventura, sueña con escribir la obra definitiva.

Un día Michelle y Fabián se reencuentran en la facultad y retoman su relación apasionada, pero condenada al fracaso.

PhD in Latin American Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, he has been a professor of Latin American Literature at Cornell University since 1997. His work includes novels, short stories, and essays, exploring themes such as technology, politics, and identity. He was awarded the National Novel Prize of Bolivia in 2003 for El delirio de Turing and the Juan Rulfo Short Story Prize in 1997 for "Dochera".
