So far, the gun was not used to destroy human lives. It was used for hunting and it was further intended to be used against animals attacking a herd. The Moroccan who bought it, Abdullah (what a symbolic name), father of two boys and a girl, goes carelessly about having a rifle around his children and even encourages them to use it to prove their hunting skills. He does not think about the major implications of a gun in the hands of two children left alone. He does not find necessary to explain the dangers of using such a powerful weapon when people are around and even the danger of hurting themselves with it. They will finally transform an innocent play in an attempted murder and even in a possible reason for deteriorating the relations between their country, Morocco and the U.S.A. when aiming with it a bus driving at a remote distance, on the road. They will unintentionally hurt Susan Jones who was traveling on the bus across the country, with her husband.

Globalization allows the two children of the Joneses to be taken along with their nanny over the boarder, to Mexico, to attend...

Their return to the U.S. will unfortunately, due to a series of misunderstandings at the boarder and the heavy drinking of her nephew, the driver, end up in a disaster that will determine her deportation back to Mexico, after sixteen years of working in the U.S.
People all over the world seem unable to use the powerful tools they possess. It must be because of the Old Testament's God's punishment is still working even today. Despite the possibility to reach the remotest corners of the world in a matter of hours and of getting instantly in touch with anyone by means of the Internet, people still find it difficult or impossible to understand each other, at the smallest level, inside their families.
