Our take

A cycling trip that took two brothers from Mexico to Toronto was part of director Andrea Martínez Crowther’s family folklore. 50 years after this two-wheeled odyssey, Crowther joins her uncles as they retrace their steps, in a heartwarming documentary about borders, memory, and the passage of time.
