21-year-old Estefanía “Beba” and 18-year-old Silvia are immigrants in Laredo, Texas, who turned the camera on themselves during the summer of 2019 — a time when they were figuring out how to cast off the shackles of their situation and realise their sweeping ambitions. The result is a vibrant, infectious and surprisingly hopeful portrait of a divided America, fuelled not by idealism but dogged determination.
