An intimate documentary portrait of sibling resilience and fractured family bonds under the weight of immigration, poverty, and systemic injustice.

Honduran immigrants living in Mexico, teenage siblings Rocío and Ale must take over care of their two younger siblings after their mother is sentenced to prison on dubious grounds. Tensions grow between the pair as the decision must be made on whether to stay together in Mexico or split the family up to cross into the US to work.
