The film "The Plastic People" tells the story of three men who were deported from the United States back to Mexico, where they struggled to survive in a devastated economy amidst a cartel war. Despite having built new lives and contributed to their communities in the US, they were forced to return to Mexico, where they were stripped of their identification and labeled "illegal" and unemployable. The film explores how these men found meaning, purpose, and redemption under these extraordinary conditions, while also highlighting the struggles of tens of thousands of Mexican-American deportees living along the US-Mexico border.
