Before she was a ghost story, she was a mother no one knew how to help.

La Llorona reimagines the Mexican legend through the eyes of Maria, a new mother pulled into the darkness of postpartum depression. What has often been told as a tale of fear becomes a story of love, illness, family, and the urgent need to see one another clearly.

Una leyenda reimaginada con empatía. Una historia de amor, pérdida, salud mental y esperanza.
