A comedic, revisionist retelling of the Mexican folk tale about the "weeping woman."

Llorona is a figure unique to Mexican folklore -- the wailing spirit of a woman who lost or killed her child and now returns to seek revenge and haunt the living. With its framing story and flashback structure, this film sets forth a couple of variations of the story.

Abandoned by her mother and abused by her father, a lonesome runaway finds solace in a foreclosed home only for her sorrow to conjure the presence of "La Llorona" the weeping woman in white; a ghostly creature always in search of her missing children...that she killed herself many years ago.
