Added DiffLines:

* WouldntHurtAChild: Alma wasn’t drowning Sara, she was just helping her practice holding her breath.


Added DiffLines:

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Enrique is an old man who committed genocide and yet insists he did nothing wrong.
* WouldHurtAChild: Played straight with Enrique, who committed genocide against Guatemala’s Maya population and [[spoiler: had Alma’s children killed]]. It’s mentioned during his trial that 38% of the victims were children under 12.

Added DiffLines:

* VengefulGhost: La Llorona wants revenge for the deaths of her and her children.


Added DiffLines:

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Enrique Monteverde is based on [[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jose-Efrain-Rios-Montt Efraín Ríos Montt]].


Added DiffLines:

* RoyalBastard: Maybe. Enrique's wife Carmen tells his daughter, Natalia, that he was always attracted to native women and reveals her suspicions that Valeriana, who arrived at their household as a child, may be Enrique's daughter. Since Enrique is the former dictator of Guatemala, this means Valeriana might qualify.

* DeadAllAlong: Alma was killed by Enrique himself before the events of the film and has come back as La Llorona.
* GenocideSurvivor: '''''Subverted'''''. Alma was killed by Monteverde himself during his genocide of the Mayans, and now her spirit has come back to haunt him.



* MamaBear: Alma/La Llorona [[spoiler: was unable to save the lives of her children, so now she's playing the long game to avenge them.]]




to:

* AlasPoorVillain: Enrique is a jerkass old man who is guilty of committing '''genocide''', but you'd be forgiven for feeling a little sympathetic for him when it's revealed that he has Alzheimer's.
* BigotWithACrush: Enrique's wife Carmen tells his daughter, Natalia, that he was always attracted to native women and reveals her suspicions that Valeriana, who arrived at their household as a child, may be Enrique's daughter.
* DirtyOldMan: Enrique sees Alma wading through the pool into the house; his family discovers him, sexually aroused and watching her wash her dress.
* ImproperlyParanoid / ProperlyParanoid: Played with. Enrique's paranoia is justified but misdirected. He's convinced that the protesters are sneaking into the house and messing with him, but it's actually Alma/La Llorona.
* KarmaHoudini: Enrique committed ''genocide'', but his guilty verdict is overturned by the high court, which ruled that his guilt could not be conclusively proven.
** KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler: He ends up dead courtesy of [[VengefulGhost La Llorona]].]]




to:

* MamaBear: When Enrique shoots Sara by mistake, Natalia snatches the gun away and points it at him.




to:

* ChildrenAreInnocent:




to:

* ChildByRape: Maybe. Enrique's wife Carmen tells his daughter, Natalia, that he was always attracted to native women and reveals her suspicions that Valeriana, who arrived at their household as a child, may be Enrique's daughter. Considering Enrique committed genocide against the natives, it's unlikely the sex was consensual.
