The Condor Daughter
In the Bolivian Andes, a young woman inherits the sacred art of midwifery but dreams of conquering the city with her voice, in this breathtaking story of tradition, ambition, and carving your own destiny.
Clara (Marisol Vallejos Montaño) is a young, smart and resourceful woman living in the community of Totorani, high in the Bolivian Andes. Her adoptive mother, Ana (María Magdalena Sanizo), has dutifully taught her the ancient ways of midwifery, including the tender Quechua songs that are believed to help safely usher newborns into the world. But while Clara loves, respects, and is expected to continue this tradition, she dreams of discovering the wider world on her own, and maybe even conquering the city with her gifted voice.
Clara (Marisol Vallejos Montaño) is een jonge, slimme en vindingrijke vrouw die woont in de gemeenschap Totorani, hoog in de Boliviaanse Andes. Haar adoptiemoeder, Ana (María Magdalena Sanizo), heeft haar trouw de eeuwenoude tradities van de verloskunde bijgebracht, waaronder de tedere Quechua-liederen waarvan wordt geloofd dat ze helpen om pasgeborenen veilig ter wereld te brengen. Maar terwijl Clara van deze traditie houdt, deze respecteert en geacht wordt haar voort te zetten, droomt ze ervan de wijde wereld op eigen kracht te ontdekken en misschien zelfs de stad te veroveren met haar begaafde stem.
