I'm No Longer Here

I'm No Longer Here (Ya no estoy aquí, 2019) is a Mexican drama you can watch online in good quality. It follows a teenage crew in the hillside barrios of Monterrey whose whole life runs on slowed-down cumbia and an afternoon of dancing on a rooftop.

Ulises leads a small street gang called Los Terkos: outsized hair, baggy clothes, hours spent perfecting steps to "kolombia" tracks nobody outside their block understands. One bad coincidence with a local cartel ends that life overnight, and he's smuggled into New York. Queens is loud, cold and wordless for him. He sweeps yards, crashes wherever he can, and aches to go back to the one place that made sense.

Luis Fernando Frías de la Parra's debut feature became the Mexican film of its year and swept the Ariel Awards, best picture included. Carried almost without dialogue by Juan Daniel García Treviño's face and by the music itself, it's a quiet, deeply personal watch for anyone drawn to films about homesickness.
