“It’s like being in two places at once, like walking in between. Because the body is in one place and the heart is in another. While our families continue in this struggle, that’s how it will be.”

When a family of six Costa Rican siblings separates through illegal immigration, uncertainty arises about where home really is.

The four oldest brothers follow in the footsteps of other local men who have left home to work illegally in the U.S., leaving their rustic mountain village to become “the island of lonely women.”

The young men coming of age in a foreign culture struggle with conflicted self identities. Urgent matters call them back home. Have they become too “Americanized” to return? A cycle has begun in the family, a cycle of rootlessness.

The film reveals, on a personal level, the complexity of this charged global issue. There are an estimated 12 million “illegal immigrants” in the U.S. While people everywhere worry about the protection of their borders, each individual immigrant has a family, a story and a dream.
