director's statement
Born in Paraguay, I keep returning to the women who sustained my country through the War of the Triple Alliance and to a deeply personal question: what happens to a woman’s voice when her survival depends on keeping it quiet? This film is my way of returning to Paraguay’s memory and listening to the voices still waiting to be heard.
