Mia Magdalena

The religious film, based on a Christian conception, was directed and produced by Rhoda Torres, who stars in the story as "Mía Magdalena," a young woman who lived in the midst of a serious family conflict, marked by gender violence and abuse, which forced her to run away from home with her nine-year-old sister. Along the way, which they had to navigate in the capital, Mía found herself immersed in prostitution in order to get ahead. But an event, an extreme experience that almost ended her life, allowed her to change course and take the path of salvation, even helping others overcome adverse situations.

Directed by Rhoda Torres, Mia Magdalena leans on a strong ensemble — Yajaira Orta, Milena Santander, Marcos Moreno — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 0.
