Four very different women embark on a transformational journey that follows the migrating monarchs across the United States to Mexico.

The Mexican people believe the monarchs are the spirits of the recently departed and Luz taps into ancient rituals and myths as she follows the spectacular, glittering river of orange monarchs in the sky to home.,
