La Llorona
The past will haunt you.
Directed by Jayro Bustamante
Produced by La Casa de Producción, Les Films du Volcan
A haunting meditation on historical atrocity and moral reckoning, where supernatural horror becomes a vessel for confronting genocide and collective guilt.
Accused of the genocide of Mayan people, retired general Enrique is trapped in his mansion by massive protests. Abandoned by his staff, the indignant old man and his family must face the devastating truth of his actions and the growing sense that a wrathful supernatural force is targeting them for his crimes.
