Movie Haiku:Estranged American couple who’ve just lost a baby flee from their sorrows, leaving 2 young children in the care of their Mexican nanny. All the individual characters in this globe-encompassing epic mean well, but absolutely everything goes wrong. “First world” collides with “third world;” powerful bureaucracies overwhelm ordinary human agendas.
