Clara is a teenager growing up in a small indigenous community high in the Andes. Her adoptive mother, a midwife who took her in as a baby, has taught her the ancient songs used to guide women through childbirth, melodies passed down for generations, believed to bring new life safely into the world. But while her voice carries on this tradition, her dreams lie elsewhere: she longs to leave the mountains behind and become a folkloric music star in the big city.

TIFF ‘25 #6Possibly the prettiest TIFF debut this year, The Condor Daughter is the realist (and humanist) piece I needed at the festival. Reminds me of late-style Kiarostami, which is a big compliment coming from me. Few pacing issues, especially in its first act, but very much worth seeing for the acting and nighttime cinematography alone.
