Mamacruz

Directed by Patricia Ortega
United States
2022
84 mins

Cruz is a grandma who’s spent years—decades, actually—without having an orgasm. Religiously devout, it wasn’t something she considered particularly important or had given much thought to… until one day, while surfing the internet, she starts to feel those desires and sensations she believed were long gone.

Now, she is faced with a dilemma: how can she balance her religious beliefs with this new sexual and sensual awakening that has suddenly come back into her life?
