Set in 1998, Teresa immigrates to the U.S. to escape a 22-year abusive marriage in Mexico. With one adult child still in Mexico and three in tow, Teresa struggles to make a new life for her family in Los Angeles. Battling her selfish relatives and manipulative ex-husband, in addition to the steep challenges many immigrants face, she must learn to fight for herself and her kids in all aspects of her life. A compelling tale of resilience and the power of family, but an expertly understated work of film art.
