Program Note
Eleven-year-old Maria and her mother, Lilibeth, live on the fringe of
Nicaragua’s biggest garbage dump. They survive by recycling waste
and breeding puppies. They live in abject poverty so their relationship is
strained, but Maria has her imagination and Lilibeth hangs on to hope for
a better future. But life doesn’t go as planned and soon Maria is entrusted
to her mother’s friends while Lilibeth tries to sort things out. Nicaragua’s
first woman-directed fiction feature comes from Laura Baumeister, who
was inspired to make this film by the children she used to teach. With
compassion and intelligence, the director creates a poignant coming-ofage
story that is exquisitely hypnotic as it is brutally realistic. As we follow
Maria’s haunting journey, it is evident that nothing can limit our imagination
or dreams, and through that resilience you can find the strength to build your
own world. (Karen PARK)
