Brief documentary and live representation of a lineal biography that sets right the story of the indigenous woman baptized as Marina aka Mallitzin, who was the translator of Hernán Cortés back in 1919 when his warriors started the journey to achieve the conquest of the continent. The plot mimics the story of the wars that brought down Moctezuma and ended up in a Colonial entity. A few international specialists give light to the controversy about a woman that allied with the Spaniards in resignation, rather than with those of her own kind. She was the first "chingada" and gave birth to the first symbolic mestizo generation.
