He’s worked in car shops turning wrenches, in offices pushing paper, construction sites building buildings, and in farms bailing hay; Arturo is just a hard worker. Arturo has spent time in bushes hiding from a lover’s significant other, lost amidst life’s struggles, alone with heartbreak, and has been together with love.
