Anayeli

Directed by Misael Alva

Anayeli is a young indigenous nahua with epilepsy and lives in the Sierra Negra of Puebla. On her day to day, she faces the condition she’s had since she was a little girl, rejection from a mother who left her when she was born, and the sexual abuse she suffered since her teenage years by many members of her community. She goes out to know the world that surrounds her, clinging to a dream: the celebration of her fifteenth birthday.
