ilegales!
Three Latino immigrants from different backgrounds meet while crossing into the United States, each chasing the promise of a better life and the hope of supporting the families they left behind. But what awaits them is not the land of opportunity they imagined it's a society that challenges their right to belong.
Parhelio
The future of an undocumented woman and her teenage son is jeopardized after she unexpectedly crosses paths with a police officer in training and his superior.
Living in Uncertainty
Two academically overachieving sisters have to come face to face with the reality of their uncertain futures due to their undocumented immigration status. Living in Uncertainty is a hybrid documentary that explores the intimacy of sisterhood and the emotional turmoil of legal limbos.

"ilegales!” follows three migrants who embark on a harrowing journey across Latin America in search of opportunity and a better life for their families. United by necessity and hope, they travel through countries where danger and dehumanization are part of the road. Guatemala and Mexico become their greatest trials, forcing them to confront not only external threats but also their own patience and their physical and emotional limits.


Their goal is to reach the United States. But the journey reveals a deeper question:

Can a dream survive when your new home reduces you to a single word ‘illegal’?


“Ilegales!” is inspired by real stories and the struggle of millions who risk everything for a better future. A film that invites reflection, without judgment on migration, identity, and the price of hope.
