Madeinusa is a 2006 Peruvian-Spanish drama film directed by Claudia Llosa.
==Plot== Set in the fictional small and isolated indigenous village of Manayaycuna ("the town no one can enter" in Quechua) in the Peruvian Andes, the story covers three days in the lives of the villagers and a stranger from Lima. The stranger, Salvador (Carlos de la Torre), is sent by a mining company to evaluate the geology of the area, but must stay in Manyaycuna over the weekend until travel can be provided. Salvador appears to be unwelcome he has arrived at the beginning of Tiempo Santo ("Holy Time"), a syncretic religious festival spanning Good Friday and Easter Sunday, and is sequestered in a barn by the town's mayor, Cayo. The villagers of Manayaycuna believe that during Holy Time, God, symbolized by an effigy of Christ, is dead and, therefore, nothing is a sin. Cayo is the father of the strangely named Madeinusa (Magaly Solier), a teenage girl who is the eponymous protagonist of the film, and has long been trying to take her virginity. However, Madeinusa has been able to hold him off, promising she will relent during Holy Time.
