About
After racking up more parking tickets than she can afford, Valentina sets out to pay them, believing it will be a quick task. Instead, she is pulled into a cycle of errands, conversations, and delays that stretch across 48 hours and criss-cross the US/Mexico border. As she traverses the Rio Grande from El Paso to Juárez, and back, dealing with family members, part-time jobs, and the constant reminder of limited money, Valentina is derailed by a crippling combination of laziness, debt, bureaucracy, partying, and imposing members of a close-knit family. Real people and places fill her world, grounding her story in daily life on the border.
