The Condor Daughter

Clara is a teenager living in a small indigenous community high in the Andes. Her adoptive mother, an elderly midwife who took her in as a baby, is training her to take on her vital role for the community, teaching her the ancient songs used to guide women through childbirth. Clara’s voice carries on this tradition, but the community’s ability to live according to their customs and beliefs is being challenged by the encroachment of the modern world. As her mother struggles to maintain the traditions, Clara leaves home to pursue a career as a star of folklore music.
