...Esperanza
2022 | Color | 20:49

Many Mexican grandmothers have one thing in common: several were kidnapped and, as a result of the machismo of the time, forced to marry their captor. Esperanza, an elderly woman, narrates how at the age of 19 she was kidnapped by Luther, a boy she met in her childhood, how she was forced to marry him after her family rejected her and how, many years later, she found her freedom. This is a story of love and hope.
