About Maya
Miss Murillo is nicknamed Maya by her pupils: young Puerto Rican and black students from New York. Her teaching, mainly based on Mexican culture and Aztec philosophy, makes her popular with the class.
Directed by Ágúst Ágústsson, Maya leans on a strong ensemble — Berta Domínguez D., Joseph D. Rosevich, Luis Manuel — 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 drama titles of 1981.
