Based on true love, this decades-spanning romance begins in Mexico

between an aspiring chef (Armando Espitia) and a teacher (Christian

Vázquez). Their lives restart in incredible ways as societal pressure

propels them to embark on a treacherous journey to New York City with

dreams, hopes, and memories in tow.

Part lyrical romance, part immigrant justice documentary, I Carry You With Me soars as it tells its remarkable story with deep, unreserved empathy.
