Synopsis

After 16 years in Brooklyn, working three low-paying jobs and collecting bottles on the street in his spare time, sending the bulk of his earnings home to his family in Mexico, Felipe decides to return after almost two decades. But when he informs his family of his homecoming, he discovers that they've squandered the money, are deeply in debt and don't want him to return. They need him to stay in the US.
