Dir. Álvaro Olmos Torrico

Teenage Clara is in training to be a midwife by her adoptive mother, singing Quechua songs to help birthing mothers and babies in their Bolivian village high in the Andes. But secretly she dreams of using her voice to carry these folkloric songs to a wider world beyond the mountains. Director and writer Álvaro Olmos Torrico has crafted a beautiful tale of colliding generations and cultures in flux.
