THE CONDOR DAUGHTER

Clara is a teenager growing up in a small indigenous community high in the Andes. Her adoptive mother, a midwife who took her in as a baby, has taught her the ancient songs used to guide women through childbirth, melodies passed down for generations, believed to bring new life safely into the world. But while her voice carries on this tradition, her dreams lie elsewhere: she longs to leave the mountains behind and become a folkloric music star in the big city.

LA HIJA CONDOR

Clara es una adolescente que crece en una pequeña comunidad indígena en lo alto de los Andes. Su madre adoptiva —una partera que la acogió cuando era bebé— le ha enseñado los antiguos cantos que guían a las mujeres durante el parto: melodías transmitidas de generación en generación, a las que se atribuye el poder de traer una nueva vida al mundo de manera segura. Sin embargo, aunque su voz perpetúa esta tradición, sus sueños apuntan hacia otro lugar: anhela dejar atrás las montañas y convertirse en una estrella de la música folclórica en la gran ciudad.
