Every time he rolls the dice, he feels like he always lands on the square marked "Lose Your Turn." In El momento de Trino, the Spanish translation of Trino's Time, Trino must continue to hold on through the wild turns that leave him reeling. Trying to cope with the loss of two friends, Trino finds himself even more alone in a world that seems to care very little for him. Slowly, with the help of some friends and a Tejano hero that Trino discovers in history class, he learns that there are times in a man's life in which he has to help himself. Trino chooses to take charge.
