A young woman risks her life to cross the Mexico-U.S. border, but only to find her dreams are nowhere to rest at the reunion with her husband.

穿越美墨边境去见爱人，栉风沐雨、以地为席，不知何处梦可憩。

黄怡高中时从香港移居到旧金山（三藩市），新闻文学系本科毕业后曾在《星岛日报》美西版担任记者，短短一年后晋升为资深记者。采访来自各行各业的精英人士后，发现自己想透过电影更深层诉说故事，于是辞掉工作，独自成为背包客去欧洲流浪。其后为了跟获奥斯卡提名导演 Scott Kennedy实习而搬到洛杉矶，亦曾与制片人杨燕子实习。在南加大念电影硕士期间，发现自己东方思维与好莱坞叙事方式有所不同，于是在毕业作品《梦归处》作出首次诗意尝试。
