In Mexico, trouble exists before migrants even reach the border.

A mother, Magdalena, hasn’t heard from her son in months—not since he left their town to cross the border into the United States. Authorities want her to sign her son’s death certificate, but an encounter with a bereaved parent makes Magdalena realize that she cannot live without knowing his fate. She begins an odyssey through a changed country: through areas of Mexico torn apart by violence and desolation, chasing any available lead despite warnings not to seek answers. The power of a mother's love leads to a shocking revelation.

Starring Mercedes Hernandez, David Illescas, and Juan Jesus Varela.

In Spanish with English subtitles.
