A Peruvian period drama about family, survival and reunion amid the violence of terrorism.
Synopsis
Project overview.
During the period of terrorism in Peru, a young man seduces an American tourist in an attempt to flee the country, resulting in the birth of a son. As a single father, he raises the boy alone. Ten years later, father and son are caught in a violent terrorist attack that unexpectedly reunites them with the mother, forcing all three to confront danger, old feelings and the past they left unresolved.
Set against the fear and instability Peru endured in the 1980s and 1990s, the film frames an intimate family story inside a national trauma shaped by bombings, kidnappings and political violence.
The source material specifically references the Tarata bombing in Miraflores, Lima, on July 16, 1992, and dedicates the project to innocent victims of terrorism around the world.
