Yana-Wara

A masterpiece from director Óscar Catacora, the film tells the story of Evaristo, an octogenarian accused of the death of his niece, the young Yana-Wara. Through his story, the community and authorities become aware of the girl's tragic tale. Sumptuous black and white photography serves as a thriller imbued with magical realism. Yana-Wara is a unique and penetrating look at the ancient traditions of the Andean Aymara communities and their deep cultural and spiritual roots.
