Dir. Tatiana Huezo. 2021, 110 mins. In Spanish with English subtitles. In her devastating and accomplished fiction feature debut, Tatiana Huezo adapts Jennifer Clement’s 2014 novel, nestling a tender, personal coming-of-age story within a terrifying depiction of a world fallen into chaos. In a solitary town in the Mexican mountains, the girls wear boyish haircuts and have underground hiding places. In the impenetrable universe of these young women, magic and joy abound; meanwhile, their mothers train them to flee from the men who turn them into slaves or ghosts. The follow-up to Huezo's masterwork of immersive nonfiction Tempestad is a bravura study in perspective, showing the daily joys and sorrows of the innocent living in the looming shadows of the merciless modern-day drug cartels.

A Netflix release. Part of the new series Las Premieres, co-presented with Cinema Tropical
