Peru, at the height of the political crisis of the 1980s. Georgina is an indigenous woman from the Andes whose newborn daughter is stolen at a fake health clinic. Her desperate search for the child leads her to the headquarters of a major newspaper, where she meets Pedro Campos, a lonely journalist.
Melina León sheds light on a dark chapter in Peru’s recent history in her mesmerising feature debut, which earned comparisons with Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma! With strikingly framed black and white cinematography, the sumptuous imagery of this eerily evocative film brings majesty to a tragic real story.
