Nudo Mixteco (lit. 'Mixtecan Knot') is a 2021 Mexican drama film written and directed by Ángeles Cruz in her directorial debut.[3] Starring Aída López, Eileen Yáñez, Sonia Couoh, Noé Hernández, Myriam Bravo and Jorge Doal.[4] The film was named on the shortlist for Mexican's entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, but it was not selected.[5]
Within the framework of a patronal festival in San Mateo, in the Oaxacan Mixteca, three stories of women emerge that open the dialogue about what happens in the communities and that is rarely discussed. María returns to bury her mother and asks her childhood love, Piedad, to go with her. Chabela rejects her husband Esteban who went to the United States for three years because he now has another partner and Tona relives the pain of sexual abuse when she discovers that her attacker raped her daughter.[6]
