Guie’dani’s Navel (El Ombligo de Guie'dani, XQUIPI' GUIE'DAN)
Directed by Xavi Sala
Guie’dani, a Zapotec girl, is dragged to Mexico City by her mother to help in her work as a housekeeper for an upper-middle-class family. There, the subtle psychological subjugation inflicted by the white family functions as a metaphor for the oppression of the old world by the new. Yet, Guie’dani rejects the life of servitude and seeks her own identity through a friendship with another rebellious teen.
Guie’dani, una joven zapoteca, es llevada a la Ciudad de México por su madre, quien trabaja como empleada doméstica para una familia de clase media alta. Allí, la sutil presión psicológica que ejerce la familia blanca refleja la opresión más amplia que enfrenta el pueblo indígena en la sociedad moderna. Pero Guie’dani se niega a aceptar una vida de servidumbre y busca construir su propia identidad a través de una amistad con otra adolescente rebelde.
With an introduction, conversation and Q&A by director Xavi Sala (Mexico).
