The filmmaker’s mother recalls her own mother and childhood in the 1960s bouncing between Mexico and California. Her mother’s small red vanity case becomes a symbol of her independence as a woman and also of her inaccessibility as a maternal figure. A deeply relatable story about growing up with an unconventional single mother.
