An undocumented mother, living in NYC, struggles with her pursuit of the American dream, as she writes a letter to the children she left back home. She cleans houses, she attempts to gain citizenship through marriage, she struggles physically and spiritually and predominantly wrestles with the choice she's made of leaving her young children back home to come to America to build a better life. Her regrets and pains come to life in the film as she writes a letter to her children and we, the audience are given a visceral, intimate view of the experiences and emotions of this brave woman pursuing a dream that comes with brutal costs.
