Identifying Features Sin Señas Particulares

As she hasn’t heard from her son, a teenager who left with a friend to get a new life for himself in the United States, Magdalena hits the road in the hope that she’ll find them. As she approaches the border, she meets Miguel, a young man who has been evicted and wants to find his mother and his village. Together they go through the northern gang-ridden part of Mexico. Their quest will eventually lead them to a painful truth. With great tenderness for her characters, Fernanda Valadez retraces a real descent into hell, a confrontation with death and the horrors that devastate her country.
