Ita Yuyu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ita Yúyu (Dewflower) is a Mexican short film made in the mountains of Guerrero State, one of the poorest regions in Mexico.

Directed by Rafael de Villa Magallón (credited as RAFA devillamagallón), Ita Yúyu tells the story of a mixteca girl. Despite the death of her parents and the context she experiences every day in a small indigenous community, she hasn´t lost her innocence and her hope in the world.

The story is about her life and the struggle it involves. Poverty, inexistent healthcare, lack of medicines and abuse are some of the issues Ita Yúyu has to deal with until she decides to fight for things that really matter.
