ABOUT THE MOVIE
In an increasingly arbitrary world, the lines between voluntary and forced are becoming blurred.Attempting to migrate from the South to the Global North as an alternative is a challenge faced by millions: to abandon, to move, to arrive, to adapt or to return, to start over, to form support networks, to resist. Each person tells a story, and each story tells some others.

Born in Sinaloa, Mexico, she studied Fine Arts before continuing her education in Social Anthropology. Growing up in an environment shaped by strong family ties, Catholic traditions, music, and social complexities influenced her artistic and social engagement. Since 2016, she has lived in different countries in search of new opportunities, eventually finding a home in the Balkans. In Croatia, she attended Restart's School of Documentary Film. Her experiences with migration, bureaucracy, and cultural exchange continue to shape her perspective and creative practice.
