Plot
editSet in the cold and industrial town of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Forged follows Chuco (Manny Pérez) on his quest to redeem himself after committing a sin against his son, Machito (David Castro). After Chuco’s release from prison, the boy, now 13 years old, abused and homeless, seeks him out and mutters: “You killed my mother.
