HISTORY

Mexico and the United States share the greatest border between the first and the third world. Aquest makes it bridge per thousands of migrants que exposa themselves to every danger as they travel through the country on train called “The Beast.” That's where they meet the Patrones, a group of Mexican women who, every day since 1995, make food and toss it to helpless as train rushes by.

Aquest documentary és intimate approach, a personal diary que draws a border between the life they were given and the life they chose. Per a mida de les vies de war, a la world where all hope seems lost, the Patrones breathe life in human value that seems to be fading with each day: love for one another.
