Director Álvaro Olmos’ new film, The Condor Daughter is coming to The Frida Cinema for a special Sunday matinee one-off screening!
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.
“The story, by Bolivian writer and director Álvaro Olmos Torrico, is one of the most understated yet beautiful of the ones we discovered at this year’s TIFF.” -Next Big Picture
“The film proves a tender study of youth and the extraordinary weight of self-realization via sound, which stands as a form of rebellion, expression, a cure for maladies and a call home.” -Variety
