La llorona
The film La Llorona was directed by Jayro Bustamento.
With the words "if you cry, I'll kill you" still ringing in their ears, Alma and her children were killed in the armed conflict in Guatemala. Thirty years later, a criminal case is opened against Enrique Monteverde, a retired general who was at the forefront of the genocide. But the trial where he is convicted is declared null and void and he is acquitted. Then, the spirit of "La Llorona" is released to wander the world as a lost soul among the living. At night, the ex-military man begins to hear her crying, and his wife and daughter believe that he is suffering from attacks of senile dementia.
