A deeply transgressive, surreal exploration of religious hypocrisy and lawlessness in an isolated Peruvian village, where a sacred holiday becomes a window into systemic violence and moral collapse.

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.
