This heartwarming drama charts an estranged father’s attempts to reconnect with his daughters as they and their mother prepare to leave the turbulence of 1990s Peru for a new life in the US. The push and pull of family ties lies at the heart of Klaudia Reynicke’s heartwarming drama, drawn partially from her own experience of emigrating as a child. It’s the 1990s and Peruvian politics are turbulent, leading mum Elena (Jimena Lindo) to decide to quit the country with her teenage daughter Aurora (Luana Vega) and younger child Lucía (Abril Gjurinovic) for a better life in the US. To leave, Elena needs the children’s estranged father Carlos (Gonzalo Molina) to sign the paperwork, leading him to a tentative reconnection with his kids. A nuanced exploration of family relationships built around strong ensemble performances.
