Mexican filmmaker Michelle Garza Cervera makes her feature directorial debut with this story of Valeria (Natalia Solián), a young woman expecting her first child. When she is cursed by a dangerous entity and her relationships with her family falters, she must rely on a group of witches for her safety and salvation. Mixing body horror and the occult, this pregnancy horror story digs deeply into the anxieties surrounding motherhood. Garza Cervera took home the Nora Ephron Prize and Best New Narrative Director at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. Her film will also stream on Shudder later in 2023 (date tbd).
