- Summary:
- In this indictment of America's asylum process, two Haitian migrants find their lives in stasis after their journey through multiple countries stalls at the US-Mexico border in Tijuana. When friends Robens and James are separated, this contemplative look at a bond forged through struggle shifts into a moving exploration of the longing to discover one's place, and the barriers, both figurative and all too literal, that stand in the way.
