Clara, a teenager in a remote Andean Indigenous community, has learned ancient childbirth songs from her adoptive mother. Though her voice continues this generational tradition, her heart yearns for the city, dreaming of leaving the mountains behind to become a folkloric music star.
Alvaro Olmos Torrico, a Bolivian director, producer, and writer from Cochabamba, has produced several documentaries and feature films. Winay (2019) was his first fiction feature film. His introspective second feature, The Condor Daughter (La Hija Condor), brings Quechua midwives to the international stage with emotional depth and cultural resonance.
