After working for several years in the United States, a man returns to Sierra de Guerrero, his village. There he is reunited with his wife and their two daughters, who are rather distant. Gradually he manages to reconnect and love grows anew, but repeated economic problems and job insecurity lead him once again to consider the idea of immigration, like many Mexicans. He finds himself faced with a dilemma that he has to resolve, one way or another, for the good of his family.
