Film: Nudo Mixteco (2021)

DIRECTED BY Ángeles Cruz, 2021, Mexico, in Spanish with English subtitles, 91 mins., Not Rated

Mexican actor-turned-director Ángeles Cruz (I Carry You With Me) crafts a powerful and poignant feature debut with this triptych of intertwining stories set in the Mixtec Oaxaca village of San Mateo during the annual celebration of the town's patron saint, as three indigenous women navigate personal crises that put them at odds with customs and traditions which they both embrace and challenge. Maria (Sonia Couoh, Potosi) is a young housekeeper who returns home to San Mateo after the death of her mother, rekindling a romance with single mother Piedad (Eileen Yañez, Days of Grace), while simultaneously suffering the wrath and rejection of her father. Chabela (Aida Lopez, Frida) is faced with the unexpected return of her long-AWOL husband Esteban (Noé Hernández, Miss Bala), who insists on a village tribunal after she refuses to take him back.
