content: Ethnographic film based on a dialogue between Zulay Saravino, an indigenous Otavaleña of Equador, and Mabel Prelorán, an Argentine anthropologist living in Los Angeles, regarding the feelings and problems that both women encountered while adapting to a new country after emigrating. The film shows Zulay and her family in their village, Quinchuqui, near Otavalo, Ecuador, including many scenes of daily life, and also in her adopted home of Los Angeles.  Co-directed by Mabel Prelorán and Zulay Saravino, this reflexive film addresses issues of cultural identity, trans-culturation, economic advancement, and personal emotional ties. Film was shot between 1982 and 1989 and was released in 1989 along with an English language version.
