Answer:
Alejandro "Ale" (Alejandro Polanco) is a 12-year-old Latino street orphan from Queens, New York. The film opens with Ale waiting by a roadside with several other men looking for work. A man in pickup truck arrives looking for two workers. He tells Ale that he is not needed, but Ale jumps into the back of the truck anyway. After realizing that Ale is in the back, he stops the truck and sends Ale on his way with some money for breakfast. Ale spends rest of the day selling chocolate and candy to passengers on subway trains with his friend Carlos (Carlos Zapata). After they finish selling the candy and split the money between them, Carlos informs Ale that Rob (Rob Sowulski), the owner of an auto repair shop in Willets Point, is looking for new workers.Ale soon begins working at the repair shop, which Rob has also allowed him to live in. He is soon joined by his 20-year-old sister Isamar "Izzy" (Isamar Gonzales) who he finds work for in a food van that sells food to workers on the street. Ale later finds a van being sold by Carlos' uncle that he believes he can fix up and turn into his and Izzy's own food van business.
