Aby, a 15-year-old Honduran teen, navigates the complexities of her life in the United States alongside her newly arrived cousin, Nata. As Thanksgiving Day unfolds, Aby's rebellious spirit clashes with the expectations of her caregiver, Aunt Magda, intensifying her desire to distance herself from her suffocating circumstances and setting in motion a series of emotionally charged encounters. Los Mosquitos explores family dynamics, cultural identity, and the universal human desire for belonging as Aby ventures out on a path that will ultimately lead her back home.
