Sinopsis/Synopsis
Después de 17 años de vivir en Brooklyn trabajando tres turnos, recolectando botellas en la calle y enviando a México el grueso de sus ganancias, Felipe, un inmigrante indocumentado, sueña con reunirse con su esposa e hijos. Cuando llama para anunciarles que ha decidido regresar, descubre que están endeudados y necesitan que permanezca en Estados Unidos trabajando para sacarlos adelante. Con el corazón roto Felipe se encuentra en una encrucijada. Mezclando elementos del cine documental con la ficción, Ya me voy es una meditación lírica que se desarrolla mientras Felipe recorre las calles de Brooklyn, reflexionando sobre el destino de su vida, la familia y el hogar, la soledad y el amor.
Felipe has spent 17 years living undocumented in Brooklyn, working low-paying jobs and collecting bottles to get by. He sends the bulk of his earnings home to support his family in Mexico, and longs to return and reunite with his wife and children. But when he calls them with the news that he´s decided to move back to Mexico, he discovers that they don´t return the feeling—they´ve squandered the money he´s sent, are now deep in debt and need him to stay in the US to keep earning. Heartbroken and betrayed, he now finds himself at an unexpected crossroads in his life. Blending documentary with fictional elements and shot over two years, a lyrical meditation unfolds as Felipe traverses the streets of Brooklyn, reflecting on family, home, loneliness and love, and pondering where his life will go next.
