The story

A hard-drinking widower, Ed stubbornly refuses to fit in with the changing East L.A. neighborhood and has alienated most of the people who live around him.

He uses ethnic slurs and berates Chico, a Latino, in an effort to get him to leave when Chico comes looking for a job.

Yet Chico sees something in Ed, and sneaks back in at night to clean up the garage and move into an old van that Ed has parked inside.
