LA MAMI

2019 / 82 mins / Mexico, Spain / Spanish

Night after night, La Mami unlocks the door and reveals the guarded restroom of the Cabaret Barba Azul's dancers in Mexico City. After working for more than 40 years in the nightlife, Doña Olga is now La Mami, the caretaker of the women's restroom at the mythical Cabaret Barba Azul. Night after night, she takes care of the dancers working to the flow of live music. This restroom is a trusting bubble inside Barba Azul. La Mami is always ready for a comforting or supportive heart-to-heart. She’s quick to deliver one of her idiosyncratic maxims, such as, “Men are only good for two things: for nothing, and for money.”
