MANI CURA A film by Gisela Savdie Based on real events MANI CURA tells the stories that lie behind the lawns-and hands-of Colombia's wealthiest women. Tere, the local manicurist who visits their homes, becomes the repository of confessions that reveal their lives are not what they appear to be.

As Bolivia stages the 50th anniversary of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's death, Julia, an old countryside teacher, is invited to share her historical story with the world: Giving a bowl of soup to the captured guerrilla in her classroom, while he recited a poem about flowers to her a few hours before his death. The invitation is withdrawn soon after, as other women step forward, claiming the story of "the soup and the flower" as their own.
