At 16, Miguel left Mexico to start a new life in New York City. Thirteen years later, Miguel opens a package from his mother, where he discovers photographs that throw him back to his childhood in rural Mexico - a time when living in the US had been just a dream. These memories that have fueled Miguel's ambitions and altruism, are the same ones that keep him trapped in his past. At a turning point in his life, he shares with us his tale of resilience and determination, and relates his longing for who and what he left behind.
