Synopsis

[edit]

Alejandra, a 27-year-old adult, arrives in Cusco, Peru, a place that seems essentially foreign to her, because she and her mother left the country 22 years ago. Her only purpose for returning is to sell, together with her uncle Américo, the colonial house of her maternal family. However, she will find a new purpose to reconnect with her land when she discovers that her father, who abandoned her when she was 3 years old, is still alive and imprisoned for participating in the terrorist organization Shining Path.[6]
