Haunted by a painful family secret and anxious to escape her mother’s fate, a young indigenous journalist makes a short film to break the silence and to free herself from her family legacy of violence and oppression. But as she begins to share the film and confront more relatives with the truth, she still hesitates to pass on her story to her daughter for fear of traumatizing her. 3 MAGALYS offers an homage to indigenous resilience in Bolivia, underscoring the healing power of cinema.
