The daughter of undocumented immigrants who fled violence in their home country, Alma’s parents cross the border when she is just an infant. At the age of 18, Alma begins to navigate the world of possibility in the only country she’s ever called home. However, learning of her undocumented status presents new challenges and betrayals. Alma goes on a journey to reconnect with her fractured cultural identity and her familial roots. Triumphing over adversity, she grows her wings in a touchingly beautiful and imaginative style.
Dedicated to Natalia Moreleion, Maria del Carmen Farias, Luisbayardo Fuentes and Bruno Cabrera Romos.
In memoriam.
“Tlazoltéotl told me, come… It’s time…Come, I’ll touch you with my cotton touch, my cloud touch, in order to touch Alma’s heart, a little girl full of dreams without fear before us, all black and yellow and with a goblin mouth of dark drooling laughter. Sing to the girl so that she doesn’t get scared, so that she understands the direction of destiny and fights from the heart. Leave her marked with our warm, black hand, war paint. Dance with her, so that her waters calm down, so that the little fire that the girl has in the center of her heart rekindles, so that she gets lost there and comes out clean. The girl needs black fire to get lost deep down and be reborn.” - Beatriz Cabrera Tavares
