What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.

María Nicolasa Cruz, an illiterate young Mazahua woman, travels to Mexico City in search of a better life, only to be swept into a chain of misunderstandings and conspiracies that make her an unlikely suspect in thefts and murders.
