Also starring in the movie is Cristo Fernández.
Directed by Mar Novo, Las Tres Sisters opens in theaters on February 21, 2025
In the movie, three Mexican American sisters reunite, after years of estrangement, to complete their beloved Grandmother’s pilgrimage through rural Mexico. Maria (Marta Méndez Cross), Sofia (Virginia Novello) and Lucia (Valeria Maldonado), grew up as best friends in an unstable household. Their Abuelita and the story of her famous pilgrimage was the only thing they could rely on as kids. Now, as adults, a rift between Sofia and Lucia has split the three sisters apart. Maria, who has just discovered a painful secret, reunites her sisters, in their Abuelita’s honor, on a spiritual walk through Mexico.
With no hiking experience, limited cell phone reception and an old map, the sisters walk the sacred trail to Talpa de Allende stumbling on a variety of characters who help them reconnect with each other and themselves. The magic of Mexico fills them with adventure and hope. Yet, as Maria attempts to keep her secret, the tension between Sofia and Lucia takes a turn for the worse. With the help of Kin (Cristo Fernandez), a local with a dark past, they must work together through their differences in order to reach the end and find their Miracle.
“As the eldest of two sisters in a very large Mexican family, I’ve learned the only way through hardship is through love. I chose to direct Las Tres Sisters during a time where I also needed healing with my own family. Being a lesbian woman in Mexico is not as widely accepted or embraced as it is in the US. Coming out created a strain on the magic and deep love I have always shared with my family. I was left with a deep and complicated wound.” – director Mar Novo.
