    • Synopsis
    • In the year 2002, Silvana, leaves her country and her daughter to emigrate and settle in Miami.
      16 years later, Florencia decides to make this documentary in order to bond with her.
      In spite of being connected all the time thanks to technology, there is a huge distance between mother and daughter and their whole communication is superficial.
      Miami is a city where nobody ever grows up, where everything appears to be perfect, but is it really like that? How is the other Miami?
      Silvana lives her life as if she was the star of a reality show, but is this really her? Florencia travels in order to look for the real Miami and to connect with her mother for the first time.
