Magallanes
Salvador del Solar’s feature debut reflects the hardships Peruvians faced during the most violent years of Shining Path, a time when citizens dreaded not only terrorist violence, but also their own ruthless and repressive government.

While driving his cab, Magallanes unexpectedly meets again with Celina, a woman he first met more than twenty years ago, under completely different circumstances. In what would turn out to be a personal quest for redemption, Magallanes will do everything at his reach to help her overcome her actual difficulties, only to find out that Celina would much rather give up everything she owns, than accept his help.
