Breaking the silence


Luz, originally from the Embera-Chamí indigenous community in Colombia, discovered at seventeen that she had no clitoris. She wanders through the concrete jungle, where her singing and weaving keep her connected to her culture, which she had to leave abruptly.
Together with Claudia, her only friend, a nursing student who was displaced by violence and came to the city, and who, living among non-indigenous people, discovered that all women are born with a clitoris, they share a strong bond around their culture and the cosmogony that lives within each of them.
Claudia decides to start a medicinal plant cultivation project in Embera territory, to create a space around it where she can engage in dialogue with the women of her culture. There, she will discover that only the connection between body and land will allow them to heal.
Biabu Chupea, with delicacy and without protrusions, reveals the path they have traveled in reaffirming their spirituality and their own questions about pleasure."
