Un poético ensayo cinematográfico a través de la lente de un inmigrante indocumentado que se desilusiona de su futuro en Estados Unidos y decide regresar a una patria distanciada. Nowhere Near rastrea el origen de una maldición familiar retrocediendo a través de la era posterior al 11 de septiembre, la ocupación estadounidense de Filipinas y la conquista espiritual del imperio español. La película es un diario de años hacia la comprensión de las causas de la emigración a Estados Unidos, aunque al final esta odisea se desvía mucho del curso esperado.
A poetic essay film through the lens of an undocumented immigrant becoming disillusioned by their future in the United States and deciding to return to an estranged homeland. Nowhere Near tracks down the origin of a family curse backtracking through the post 9/11 era, the US occupation of the Philippines and the spiritual conquest of the Spanish empire. The film is a years-long diary towards understanding the causes of migration to the United States, though ultimately this odyssey deviates far from the expected course.
