por Javier Malpica  (performed in Spanish)

After the death of their mother, two young boys move in with their grandmother, as their father heads to United States in search of opportunity. When their grandmother dies unexpectedly, the children are passed from one relative to another until they decide to run away in search of their father.  OUR DAD IS IN ATLANTIS is a tender and powerful story of immigration, and the fate of children left behind.

Después de la muerte de su madre, dos niños se mudan a casa de su abuela, mientras su padre se marcha a los Estados Unidos en busca de una oportunidad. Cuando su abuela muere de improviso, los niños se mudan a casa de otro familiar y luego a casa de otro más, hasta que ellos deciden escaparse para ir en busca de su padre. NUESTRO PAPÁ ESTÁ EN LA ATLÁNTIDA es una historia sensible y poderosa de inmigración, y el destino de los niños que fueron dejados atrás.
