This anthropological documentary takes us into the world of indigenous
woman Maruch de la Cruz P茅res.
Maruch is a 42-year old, unmarried woman from Chiapas who loves traveling
in her country to explore other cultures and to learn from them. On account
of her biography she has a quite problematic stand in her traditional
village Zinacantan on the on hand, but in the other hand, she has to face
racism and sexism in Mexican society while she is travelling.
Road tripping trough Chiapas with Maruch and the film crew gives an insight
in the culture and society of a post-war region. However it is also an
intimate portrait of an indigenous woman who is trying to live a
self-determined life, that will give her freedom from the traditions of her
community, her former husband, and the terror of paramilitary groups.
Director and Production: Florian Walter (will be present)
