El Segundo is the story of a wealthy Tejano rancher (Pedro Armendariz, Jr., Once Upon A Time In Mexico, The Mask of Zorro), who is seeking a jewel that will bring him eternal life, and how his quest threatens to tear apart the community that depends on him. Sam (Hank Jacobs, Rounders ), a misfit oil rigger hired to retrieve the jewel, bears witness to the passion it inspires, and the destruction it leaves in its wake, as he falls for the rancher's spitfire daughter, Delicia (Alana De La Garza, Law & Order, WB's The Mountain). It's a story of greed, mystery, and desire set in the unforgiving brush of Southeast Texas. Also starring Tejano singing legend Carlos Guzman.
Directed by Hank Jacobs. Written and Produced by Mr. Jacobs and Alice, Texas native Roy Misael Trejo, El Segundo was shot on location in Alice, Texas and neighboring San Diego, Texas in 2002.
El Segundo makes extensive use of Tejano music in the film. From being shot in Alice, Texas- "The Birthplace of Tejano Music," to having legend and Tejano ROOTS Hall of Famer Carlos Guzman of Los Fabulosos Cuatro co-star in the movie, Tejano music permeates all aspects of the picture.
The soundtrack includes music by Hometown Boys, Amable, and Tejano ROOTS Hall of Famer Juan Antonio Sifuentes. Also included is a song by Austin, Texas based Patricia Vonne, who is in the cast of El Segundo, and who brings her own flavor and sensibility to the art form.

La Chèvre features Depardieu as the tough-guy private detective Campana, hired to find Marie, the daughter of a rich businessman, who has mysteriously disappeared while vacationing in Mexico. The case turns out to be complicated – several attempts to find her have already failed. A psychologist, Meyer, who works for the businessman, suggests a plan. Marie is known to be extremely unlucky and accident-prone; the psychologist advises sending someone equally accident-prone to find her, on the theory that what happened to her may also happen to him, and thus, following her steps while the detective tags along, the daughter can be found and returned home. Richard's character Perrin is an awkward, accident-prone accountant who works for the businessman, and is chosen to implement the scheme. The adventures of an odd duo begin.
