Bolivian film La hija Cóndor release

Overview

The Bolivian film ‘La hija Cóndor’, directed by Álvaro Olmos Torrico, examines the tensions between ancestral Quechua traditions and modern urban influences in the Andes.

The narrative focuses on a female-centric world of midwives and mothers. It follows Clara, a young woman learning the craft of traditional midwifery from a seasoned midwife named Ana. The introduction of a radio serves as a catalyst for Clara, bringing urban music and culture into her traditional environment and sparking a desire for life beyond her village.

As Clara leaves her community to pursue a life as a singer in the city, her departure coincides with mysterious misfortunes in her village, prompting Ana to search for her daughter to restore communal balance. The film explores themes of female empowerment, the constraints of patriarchy, and the struggle of indigenous cultures against modern influences and state authorities.
