Madeinusa

2006 · 100 min

A slow, unsettling immersion into a remote community's strange rituals, leaving a lingering sense of unease and moral ambiguity.

Overview
Madeinusa is a girl who lives in an isolated village in the mountains of Peru. This strange place is characterized by its religious fervor, and seemingly odd custom: from Good Friday at three o’clock in the afternoon to Easter Sunday, the whole village can do whatever it feels like.
