All of us are María

In a cursed house where every woman is named María, a young filmmaker unearths decades of secrets to break the silence that has bound her family for generations.

In the blistering highlands of La Manta stands the “House of the Marías”, where every daughter is named María and every birth renews an ancestral curse. When twin girls are born in 1960, a midwife predicts that only one will ever
be free. Over six turbulent decades, the twins, their seamstress mother, and their iron-willed grandmother struggle against dictatorship, desire, and the secret of a hidden heir locked away in the countryside. Now, documentary-maker María Victoria threads together lost diaries, court files, and
folk songs to expose a lineage bound by silence—risking everything to reclaim a future none of them dared to imagine. A sweeping, multi-voiced saga of identity, complicity, and the many lives woven into a single name.
