At the age of 89, Julián Moreno takes one last bus ride to El Paso, Texas, to visit his daughters and their children – a lengthy trip he has made without fail every month for decades. After returning to rural Mexico, he quietly starts building a house in the empty lot next to his home. In the absence of his physical visits, can this new house bridge the distance between his loved ones?

"This intimate documentary is filmed by a Mexican American granddaughter honoring her grandfather's last months of life. Being Mexican American, this brought memories of family I have in Mexico and how hard they worked to pass on their achievements to their children and family they leave behind."
