I'm No Longer Here

2019 · 112 min

A slow, melancholic immersion into a displaced teenager's longing, where dance and music offer fleeting solace against harsh realities.

Overview
In Monterrey, Mexico, a young street gang spends their days dancing to slowed-down cumbia and attending parties. After a mix-up with a local cartel, their leader is forced to migrate to the U.S. but quickly longs to return home.
