The Condor Daughter

This screening will be introduced by Camilla Baier as part of CinemaAttic’s Latin Connections Festival. 

Clara is a teenager growing up in a small indigenous community high in the Andes. Her adoptive mother, a midwife who took her in as a baby, has taught her the ancient songs used to guide women through childbirth, melodies passed down for generations, believed to bring new life safely into the world. But while her voice carries on this tradition, her dreams lie elsewhere: she longs to leave the mountains behind and become a folk music star in the big city.

The 2026 edition of the Latin Connections Film Festival explores how territory shapes identity and how new generations negotiate their place within complex social, historical, and cultural landscapes. From the Peruvian Amazon to the Bolivian Andes, from Afro-descendant communities to indigenous voices reclaiming their narratives, this edition centres landscape as a protagonist, not just a backdrop.

This festival is run by CinemaAttic, who have been celebrating Latin American and Iberian cinema in Scotland since 2008. Visit cinemaattic.com to find out more.
