Synopsis

Resistance to gender roles drove Cons to learn about the story of Machi Marcelina, a Mapuche ancestral authority unjustly accused of murder and witchcraft in 1995. After her release, she confronted the prejudices of her community and distanced herself. Marcelina will mobilize Cons through reflections on good, evil, and the possibility of loving beyond stigmas.
