The Time of the Fireflies

El Tiempo de las Luciérnagas

Synopsis

Despite the loneliness he experiences living in New York, Miguel remains resiliently motivated to help the family he hasn’t seen in 13 years. Combining dreamlike depictions of Miguels memories of his childhood in Oaxaca, Mexico with his everyday experience as a migrant worker, THE TIME OF THE FIREFLIES is a poignant depiction of the sacrifice many are forced to make in order to support their families.
