Story
Nudo mixteco interweaves three narratives centered around migrants returning to their community in the upper Mixteca region of Oaxaca. The stories intersect and explore themes of childhood trauma, sexual abuse, patriarchy, and the struggle against tradition. One narrative follows a woman who returns for her father's funeral but is haunted by her traumatic past involving her abusive brother and a secret lesbian relationship she had as a teenager.
Summary
Nudo mixteco is a Mexican drama film directed by Ángeles Cruz, released in 2021. Set in the small town of Tepelmeme Villa de Morelos in Oaxaca's Mixteca region, the film presents a nuanced portrayal of rural life and the struggles of its inhabitants. It explores heavy themes such as child abuse, patriarchy, and sexual repression through interconnected stories of three migrants who return to their home community. The film is notable for its exploration of lesbian relationships in a conservative patriarchal society and its use of traditional 'velorio' funeral customs to weave together the narratives.
