In "Her Last Day in the U.S.," Leonor, a 70-year-old undocumented Mexican immigrant mother, prepares to leave the United States after more than three decades. Her decision unleashes an emotional whirlwind among her children (Daniela, Zeferino, and Chabela), who struggle to come to terms with it. In a single day, the family confronts what it means to say goodbye without having said everything. The film intimately portrays the immigrant community and reflects on who has the right to stay, to love, and to be seen.
