Malinche is a Mexican TV series about the life of La Malinche, the indigenous translator who accompanied Hernán Cortés during his conquest of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan.
The series is spoken in native languages and the colors of the subtitles indicate which one: white is for Nahuatl, yellow is for Mayan, blue is for Popoluca, green is for Totonaca and pink is for Latin.
When the Mayans lose a battle to the newly arrived Spaniards, they give women to them as a tribute of war.
During the expedition to Tenochtitlan, Malinche notices that the Spaniards are having a tough time communicating with the locals so she offers her services as a translator.
She tries to use this newly acquired and relative power to negotiate her freedom, so she can finally go back to her hometown.
