BRAVAS

Every weekend, Clara leaves behind her role as a mother and wife to become a bull rider. In the rural lands of Morelos, her life unfolds between house chores, prayers to Santa Muerte, and family arguments, but also between broken dreams and a burning need to escape. Facing the daily violence of a male-dominated profession, Clara rides, falls, gets back up, and returns. Her desire to compete in the United States is not just a professional goal, it’s a declaration of identity. Bravas portrays, between the everyday and the dreamlike, the intimate journey of a woman who refuses to be just a spectator in her own life: Clara is a rider, and she’s determined not to ask for permission.
