Story about nostalgia, identity and memory, but above all, it has to do with love and dreams. It is an intimate journey about what happens with those who have relatives who have left for the United States in search of a better life, in an exploration of the consequences of migration.

Plot

Those Who Remain is a film about the families of those who have crossed the border to the United States in search of better opportunities. During eleven months the directors followed the everyday life of nine families in six different states of Mexico. They developed a personal relationship with children, grandparents, mothers, husbands, and teenagers. In the film we see them at work, at rest, and playing while they reveal their hopes, fears and dreams through the simple things that they enjoy in life. The result is a deep and intimate conversation with the Mexican soul.
