México/Ficción/2024/103 min

It is the thirties of the last century, and in the south of Jalisco, emblematic symbols of the state are being consolidated, such as the “charrería” and the “mariachi”. But identities and passions that had previously been hidden are also revealed. Emilia, a young peasant girl, falls madly in love with her cousin, but a sexist society confronts her and forces her to leave and become a mule driver and hide her identity. Travel from the mountains, Mascota, to the sea among hidden trails and lost towns on a journey of self-discovery to try to understand who she really is. A film with subtleties, metaphors and visual magic that lead to the subject of identity and diversity A Jalisco cinema that looks at its own state and from there proposes a universal theme about the contemporary concerns of the queer world and the Mixarika identity. Feminine desire put into action and invite us to reflect and empathize.
