Hummingbirds Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: In Laredo, a city in southern Texas on the Mexican border, best friends Silvia & Beba know that the long summer nights of their youth cannot last forever... Their hang-out spots are so familiar but, stuck in an immigration process over which deportation hangs as a constant possibility, home still seems a fragile concept. Between bars, drive-thrus, friends' couches and the borderlands, they confront the stresses of survival, the future, and community building. For them, this means protest action for legal abortion and against border control abuses, in a politically divided America. But dusty half-light is also a time for poetry & dreams. Their laughter & creative expression cement a sense of solidarity and belonging in togetherness.
