Description
Description
Walt, the manager of a seedy liquor store in Portland, has fallen desperately in love with Johnny, a teenage illegal Mexican immigrant who doesn’t speak English. Although Johnny prefers the romantic attentions of Walt’s sister Betty, he does agree to sleep with his suitor for $25, but Walt can’t come up with the cash. Walt settles for Johnny’s best friend Roberto Pepper, becoming the boys’ protector and patron, teaching them how to drive and trying to learn Spanish, despite their cruel indifference toward him.
