An old transient hotel, located in the red zone of Mexicali, in the border between Mexico and the United States, receives every day hundreds of deported migrants that seek to reach or get back the American dream. They turn this hotel into a temporal home. Time travels and the guests are facing the ruthless and devastating reality of the mirage of their dreams.
