PLOT

Mauricia Saavedra is a poet and folk singer from central Chile who has been devoted to tradition since the age of 12. She has cultivated the transposed guitar and human singing, participating in festivals and gatherings that have taken her throughout much of the country. She defines herself as a "warrior woman": being a single mother and a lesbian has made her face violence and multiple difficulties, which, she says, she has been able to heal through singing. This documentary shows how she has decided to help other singers in their painful experiences. She learns to listen to them and connect them with their dignity, to transform the conditions of violence rooted in the dynamics of the Chilean countryside.
