Ruta Madre is a 2017 Mexican-American road comedy-drama film directed by Agustin Castañeda and starring David Castro, William Miller, Lia Marie Johnson, Carmen Salinas, Angélica María, Paulina Gaitan and Paul Rodriguez.[2][3]

Plot

[edit]

Ruta Madre is the story of a rite of passage where American culture and Rock and Roll meet the music, traditions, and beauty of Mexico. Based on a true story, the film chronicles the story of Daniel, a talented young Mexican-American singer and his cynical uncle Rodrigo. When his first love Daisy breaks his heart, in emotional agony Daniel reluctantly leaves his home in San Diego, California and embarks on a road trip with his uncle, who is also on the run from a past that haunts him.[citation needed]

The journey begins at the US/Mexico border, and winds its way through Tijuana, Ensenada, down the majestic Baja peninsula, through the sleepy French mining town of Santa Rosalia, and finally arriving at a family ranch in Ciudad Constitution. A friendly witch, unlikely angels, enticing demons, righteous Federales, a prostitute full of hope, a peculiar drug dealer and even the most beautiful woman in the world, are just some of the characters Daniel and Rodrigo meet along the way.[citation needed]
