Hibla (2002)
Isabel and Clara are two childhood friends separated by fate. Isabel is a naive provincial lass who works as an indigenous fabric weaver while Clara is the liberated city girl. Clara has gone wild after her mother runs off with another man. The two meet after years of separation when Clara returns to the barrio to visit her father, Roman. But their cultural difference further separates them as Lando, Isabel's boyfriend, enters into the picture. Lando, frustrated with Isabel's conservatism and idealism, turns his attention to Clara, which irked Isabel. Isabel, in turn, seduces Clara's father.

A different way of telling a story
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
