Madeinusa
Madeinusa is a 2005 Peruvian-Spanish drama film directed by Claudia Llosa.Plot
Set in the fictional small and isolated indigenous village of Manayaycuna in the Peruvian Andes, the story covers three days in the lives of the villagers and a stranger from Lima. The stranger, Salvador, is unwelcome because he has arrived at the beginning of the "Holy Time," a syncretic religious festival spanning Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The villagers of Manayaycuna believe that during "Holy Time" God, symbolized by an effigy of Christ, is dead and, therefore, nothing is a sin. The drama centers around the eponymous Madeinusa, a teenage girl selected as the festival's Mater Dolorosa and the daughter of the village mayor, and her encounter with Salvador.Cast
