Edges

Doña Cecilia, a skinny wrinkled Mexican lady (86), turns off her alarm at 4:00 AM to start her journey. With her curved spine, Cecilia moves in slow motion in her low-income humble home. She crosses the city with a mysterious suitcase. Cecilia takes a taxi, a bus, and walks throughout the city's disdain. At night, she finally reaches her destination: The US-Mexico border. Inside the Trump-era detention center, 30 caged children cry and ask for their mothers. Suddenly, Cecilia takes a small guitar out of her suitcase and sings a Mexican Bolero to them. Children calm down listening to her. When the last child falls asleep, Cecilia returns to her home to start the same long journey again the next day.
