Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Novaro was a leading voice of 1990s Mexican cinema's 'women's cinema' movement, rarely getting theatrical US distribution despite festival prestige.
The film deliberately mirrors classic American road movies but swaps male rebellion for female survival economics — no romanticism, just bus fares and hunger.
