Children grow, and in this luminous first feature, two sisters, raised by their mother and separated from their father, adapt, mature, and age over the twenty years they pay summertime visits to their dad in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Based on her own experience of connecting with her dad in Colombia, filmmaker Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio traces with delicacy and compassion the dynamics of a broken family and the complexity of an ambivalent parental connection. Winner of the Grand Prize at Sundance this year.
