Crossings, The Dream of the Rich North - Feeling bored and also curious, Cynthia, 7 (L) and Eloisa, 10, peak outside their home on a rainy day. The Rodriguez children are used to staying indoors for hours on end due to their parents' long work days, and because they haven't the money to go out. In general, they are wary of visitors, since state child protection agencies have made numerous surprise visits to their home in Florida and in Texas, eager to monitor the children's' living conditions.
