An indigenous girl with a free spirit growing in a rejecting society
María is an Amorúa girl; an indigenous group that traveled the savannas of Orinoquía as nomads. She lives with her grandmother Matilde, her sister diana and her cousins in Puerto Carreño, in the Colombia-Venezuela border. The amorúa are considered wild and are not literate. Matilde wants her granddaughters to learn to write and read to live better in this town of "rational whites" as they call us. The director follows María's life for 8 years from her childhood to her adolescence and invites her to travel the places her grandma did as a nomad.

I don't watch a lot of Colombian cinema, but this was really something and I'm glad stuff like this is being made. From the concept to some making stuff it has really interesting crafting and I hope people recognize this type of films in Colombia instead of some of the other stuff that's being made in this moment.
