Plot

Manuel is a 16-year-old living in Tijuana, Mexico with his grandfather while his mom works in the U.S. When he meets a girl, he sees an opportunity to assert his independence, but what he doesn't know about her will push him to the limit.

On the evening of November 18, 2013, 16-year-old Cruz Velazquez Acevedo from Mexico attempted to enter the United States with two bottles of unidentified liquid. When questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, he claimed it was apple juice. Suspecting he was carrying drugs, the agents demanded he prove it was apple juice. One of the agents made a motion with her hand. "Drink it." Inspired by these real events, Límite tells the story of Manuel, a 16-year-old living in Tijuana, Mexico with his grandfather while his mom works in the United States. When he meets a girl he likes, he sees an opportunity to assert his independence, but what he doesn't know about her will push him to the limit.
