Na Savi
Directed by Sofia Ayerdi
United States, Mexico | 15 min | 2023
As its tradition in her indigenous tribe, fourteen year old Areli is set to be married, she will have to choose between her community's traditions or what she truly desires.
"Na Savi" is the story of a fourteen year old girl named Areli, who lives in a small indigenous community in Mexico. One day coming home from school, Areli discovers that her father, Tomás, and his friend Luis have agreed to Areli marrying off to Luis's son Octavio; her bride price: a cow and eight thousand pesos. Areli's mother, Yolanda, is reluctant about the decision but is powerless. After the cow being sacrificed and the money being payed, Areli has no other choice than to marry. The film ends with a heartbroken Areli running away from her home finding along her path something she didn't expect.
