Manuelito
Fito is Francisco’s cousin who lives in Guadalajara, Mexico, and works in a tequila factory. Roberto is very impressed when he visits Fito and sees that he lives in a house with electricity and water. Since Roberto wants these things, too, he becomes unhappy with the way he and his family live in their little village. Fito symbolizes a better quality of life that Francisco’s family aspires to, which inspires their move to California.
