Magdalena sets out on a journey in search of her son, who disappeared en route to the US border. Traveling through the desolate towns and landscapes of today’s Mexico, she meets Miguel, a young man recently deported from the United States who is making his way home. The two accompany one another: Magdalena looking for her son, and Miguel eager to see his mother again in a territory where victims and aggressors ramble together.
