One wonders if the mythical connotations wouldn’t have been obvious enough had the makers not given a hint as to the nature of ‘Maya’, the protagonist, in the opening crawl. We also get clues about the character through songs by an indigenous group. Though some of these songs test our patience, the placement of the others makes perfect sense.
