La Puta

Category: Narrative Short 30mins
Director: Iris Almaraz

Gaby is growing up much too fast and struggling to find her identity. Her trials are beyond her self-indulgent mother's ability to cope with. Luckily for her, the local town whore (La Puta) has a heart of gold and is doing her best to help the girl out by giving her some much needed advice on dealing with overly anxious boys and mother's with hardships beyond their daughter's comprehension. Meanwhile, Chencha (Gaby's mother) is so wrapped up in finding her dark knight that Gaby takes the role of mother and Chencha becomes the irresponsible daughter. 'La Puta' is the story of three women who, like the town they live in, are stuck in between opposing streams of life.
