Synopsis

In the traditionally macho business of Mariachi music, women struggle to find work. It’s even harder for them to leave a mark. Using the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos as a backdrop, filmmaker Doris Dörrie follows the handful of women who choose to perform Mariachi, from the first band that formed in 1958 (and still performs), to younger musicians who juggle the dual demands of family and career. In Spanish with English subtitles.
