'Ruta Madre' is a 2017: Mexican, American, comedy and drama film directed by Agustin Castaeda and starring David Castro, William Miller, Lia Marie Johnson, Carmen Salinas, Anglica Mara, Paulina Gaitan and Paul Rodriguez.
Plot
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, Ruta Madre chronicles the story of Daniel, a talented young Mexican-American singer and his cynical uncle Rodrigo. When his first love Daisy breaks his heart, Daniel, in emotional agony, 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.
This comical, dramatic and spiritual 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.
