Synopsis by Maggie Sadler
After nearly two decades, Felipe Hernández resolves to venture to his native Mexico, growing discontented with low-wage work and collecting discarded bottles to make ends meet in Brooklyn. He is eager to reunite with his family, to whom he has been sending all of his earnings. However, his return soon sours as his family reveals that they gambled away all of his money and prefer that he remain in exile, supporting them all the while. Directed by Lindsey Cordero and Armando Croda.
