Description
Converging around a Mexican village’s yearly festival, this powerful drama depicts the upheaval created when three people who left return home. María comes to bury her mother but faces her father’s condemnation over her sexuality, Esteban seeks revenge for his wife’s infidelity, and Toña is compelled to address a childhood trauma that is impacting her daughter. With tension and empathy, this debut feature portrays the constraints on women’s lives within a culture of machismo.
Ángeles Cruz is an actor turned filmmaker, whose first short, The Doldrums or How to Cure Sadness (2012), won an Ariel Award for Best Short Fiction Film, a feat she repeated with her third short film, Arcángel (2018). Her second short, La carta (2016), was nominated for that same award. Nudo Mixteco is her debut feature.
