In a remote village in Costa Rica, 40-year-old Clara (Costa Rican dancer Wendy Chinchilla Araya, in her debut role) is believed to have a special connection to God.

As a “healer” who has been visited by the Virgin Mary, she sustains a family and a village in need of hope, while she finds solace in her relationship with the natural world and her beloved horse, Yuca. But after years of being controlled by her mother’s repressive care, Clara’s sexual desires are stirred by an unexpected attraction to her young niece’s kind-hearted new boyfriend. Clara begins to rebel, at first in subtle ways and then with a defiance that disturbs her complacent community, which leads to explosive results. Costa Rican-Swedish director Nathalie Álvarez Mesén’s feature debut is a powerful meditation on female empowerment, an awakened force which challenges the fine line between the physical and the mystical, as Clara becomes determined to free herself from the conventions that have dominated her life.
