What we need to know about Y si Adelita..

During the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, Adela, a humble girl, must hide so that the revolutionaries do not find her. However, she witnesses the rape against Isabel, her mother. Adela manages to rescue a knife that the rebels forgot, and hands it over to Isabel for revenge. This is how Isabel murders one of the rapists, but not before warning Adela to escape from her. The next morning, Adela comes out of her hiding place, taking the knife, a weapon with which she and her mother brought justice. Adela frees her dog in the field, and sets out on a lonely path into the unknown.
