The Lopez family is split by a border. A mother and her three daughters stay in a rural Mexican town, where the lack of job opportunities have forced 50% of residents (80% of men) to migrate to the U.S. A father, a son and an uncle work construction in Richmond, Virginia dreaming about home but traumatized by the journey they endured to the other side. 'La Tierra de los Adioses' tells a story mirrored throughout Central America about torn families, a culture of migration and the policies that keep the cycle spinning.
