Story
María, a 17-year-old Kaqchikel Maya girl, lives with her parents on a coffee plantation at the foot of an active volcano in Guatemala. She is betrothed to the farm's foreman but longs for independence and dreams of discovering the world beyond their remote community. María seduces a fellow coffee harvester who promises to take her to the United States. When he leaves without her, María must confront the reality of her situation and grapple with the cultural complexities of her own Mayan heritage.
Summary
Ixcanul is a poignant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of Guatemala's Kaqchikel Maya community. Directed by Jayro Bustamante, the film follows María as she navigates traditional expectations, cultural identity, and personal aspirations amidst the harsh realities of life on an active volcano. While plot details are sparse in available sources, Ixcanul is praised for its authentic portrayal of Mayan culture and its exploration of themes such as womanhood, tradition vs. modernity, and the pursuit of freedom.
