Mixtec filmmaker Ángeles Cruz returns — after her acclaimed drama “Nudo Mixteco” — with a radiant portrait of childhood laced with delicate touches of magical realism.

The only issue is that from the hereafter dad only speaks to her in Mixtec, the native language of their community, which she never learned.

Clinics are far from where they live, she said, and many don’t speak English or Spanish — for instance, they may speak Indigenous languages such as Mixtec, which is common in parts of Mexico.

Her nomination comes four years after Yalitza Aparicio, who is of indigenous Mixtec descent, was nominated in the same category for her role in Alfonso Cuarón’s 2018 film “Roma.”

The Indigenous Mixtec languages, for example, have at least 11 different words for “rain.”
