Overview
El machismo puede hacernos llorar, pero también reír. No en sus aspectos más violentos y degradantes, pero sí en sus expresiones cotidianas más sutiles, las que se expresan en la vida diaria de todos nosotros.
Si bien la violencia contra las mujeres es su manifestación más extrema, existen mecanismos más sutiles que se expresan en la comunicación, el trabajo, la salud y la sexualidad mediante roles de género sumamente rígidos, limitantes e ineficientes. Que las mujeres tengan menos acceso al trabajo bien remunerado equivale a desperdiciar un inmenso capital humano; que tengan menor poder de compra priva a las empresas de un nicho de mercado importante.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This is Oshinica’s story, and her struggle to discover her true self beyond her family’s expectations of her.
Like a Bride tells the intimate story that Oshinica, a young Sephardic woman in Mexico of the 1950’s, writes in her diary. In that journal she will pen her desires, fears, and anxieties, as she grows and is groomed to one day become a housewife. But, as time passes and her family continues to get her ready, Oshinica discovers there is a whole new world in school and begins to wonder if there is another possible way of life for her and for the women around her. Will she accept her future or will she change her life path?.
