Script and Director
At the Mexico-US border, between Tijuana and San Diego, a wall unnaturally separates thousands of friends and families, tearing up the beach in two parts and diving into the ocean. Separated relatives can barely see each other through the thick metal mesh of the wall. They can only touch fingertips without the possibility to hug.
Mexican-American artist and performer Ana Teresa Fernandez is determined to take action and change this heart-breaking reality through the power of art. She gathers a peaceful commando of local friends, family members and border activists and invites them to meet one early morning at the border. The group is going to alter the wall and its cruel reality, allowing separated families to imagine a better future in which they are re-united.
