The film is running its 5th week and became a 'sleeper', keeping 210 screens so far. Admissions today passed 1,150,000
"Guten Tag, Ramón" tells the story of Ramón (Kristyan Ferrer), a young man from a small northern Mexican town that has tried unsuccessfully five times to cross the U.S. border.

He survives in the streets until he meets Ruth (Ingeborg Schöner), a retired and lonely woman. Beyond language barriers and prejudices they develop an amazing friendship.
