The story of a woman raised in rural, southern Mexico and immigrated to the United States as a young mother. This documentary film pairs anecdotal reflections of the past with meditative images of her suburban home and the surrounding geographic area. Through restrained narrative pacing, observational cinematography, and digitized home videos, this film celebrates the compounded wisdom of ordinary living and creates echoes of how familial places, and our proximity to them, shape generational connection, history, and memory.
