Mariachi is a folkloric tradition as macho as it is Mexican. Eight years ago, Mireya Ramos and Shae Fiol sought to up-end convention and founded Mariachi Flor de Toloache, New York City’s first all-female mariachi band. With their bandmates Julie Acosta and Eunice Aparicio, the musicians traded in traditional mariachi skirts for homemade suits and created an empowering space for women while staying true to the music and spirit of mariachi.
The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse.
Embark on a visionary journey through the fragmented unconscious of the West, and with courage face the Shadow. From Shadow into Light.
“No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.”
-C.G. Jung
