Description
Los Que No Se Quedan le lleva a un inspirador viaje desde una pequeña localidad colombiana a la vida rápida de Los Ángeles, y muestra como una madre y su hija deben superar guerra, miseria y sufrimiento, y aprenden a sobrevivir por sus propios medios. Este íntimo y épico relato comienza en el principio de los años 1970, con Mariana, la hija de 17 años de una de las más ricas y poderosas familias en Buga, Colombia, que se encuentra profundamente enamorada de Antonio, el humilde hijo de un pescador. Marginados por sus familias, la joven pareja y sus dos pequeños hijos dejan atrás un país devastado por una guerra interminable por una mejor vida en los Estados Unidos, pero el sueño americano se transforma rápidamente en una pesadilla. Desesperada por salvar a su hija, Mariana debe buscar la fuerza para tomar la más dolorosa decisión que una madre puede afrontar, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.
