In Laredo, a Texas city on the Mexican border, best friends Silvia and Beba know that the summer nights of youth can’t last forever. Stuck in an immigration process with deportation as a constant threat, home feels like a fragile concept. Together—between bars, drive-thrus, friends’ couches, and the borderlands—they confront the stresses of survival, community-building, and the future.
