In Manayaycuna, a little Andean village, the Easter holiday begins on Good Friday. Jesus is taken down from the Cross and his eyes are covered. From that moment to midnight on Easter Sunday Eve, God cannot see what people are doing. Breaking taboos becomes possible. Madeinusa, daughter of the mayor (the promoter of and person most interested in this kind of holiday) has been elected “Virgin” of the feast. The arrival of a geologist from Lima will change the girl's life and that of the people surrounding her in this microcosm that “cites” Latin American literature and, in particular, the atmosphere created by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. |
