Co-writer/director Klaudia Reynicke’s poignant coming-of-age drama is set in 1992 Peru during the “fujimorazo,” when President Alberto Fujimori assumed full legislative and judicial powers after dissolving his government. Elena plans to leave the country with her daughters Lucía and Aurora but needs Carlos, their absent father, to sign their departure permits. This gives Carlos the opportunity to earn their love back even though he doesn’t have much to offer them.
