A highly anticipated debut from one of world cinema’s youngest voices will soon be hitting U.S. theaters this month. The new drama “Ixcanul” follows 17-year-old Maria (Maria Mercedes Coroy) who lives with her mother Juana (Maria Telon) and father Manuel (Manuel Manuel Antun) and works on a coffee plantation in the Guatemalan foothills of the active Pacaya volcano. Maria’s parents are preparing her arranged marriage businessman Ignacio (Justo Lorenzo), but Maria has little interest in her monotonous, servile life in Guatemala and dreams of running away to the United States with friend and lover Pepe (Marvin Coroy). But when Pepe gets Maria pregnant and abandons her, she’s left alone and in disgrace, and must contend with the traditions of her culture and the modern world that looms just outside. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below and check out the poster below.
