What Remains on the Way

Lilian dares to leave her violent husband in Guatemala and joins the migrant caravan in order to make it to the Mexican-US border. Being a single mother, this is her only chance to make the dangerous way through Mexico. The documentary follows Lilian and her kids marching and hitchhiking through Mexico using trailers and trains, struggling to get further North. During the journey of 3,000 miles, we get to know their family bonds and witness how they master the difficult path in their very own way. Along the way, it becomes clear that Lilian's escape marks just the beginning of an ongoing struggle of independence from men. Rather than reaching the USA, it is the resistance to male domination and traditional gender roles which changes her life and that of her children for the better.
