Roman, a rugged, 23-year-old soldier
of the Peruvian Navy, returns
home to Lima after years of fighting
in the jungle. Combat-weary and
searching for hope, Santiago is
a member of a lost Peruvian generation
– his spirit scarred by
futile wars with Ecuador and constant
fighting against terrorists and
drug traffickers. He quickly finds
his native Lima an unwelcoming
place – his army buddies
have taken to bankrobbing; the
decadent club scene offers only
noise and lights; prospective
employers won’t hire him;
his applications for credit are
refused. But worst of all, Santiago
learns that his friends, family,
and young, professional wife have
be-come decadent or distant —
and that they are, each in unique
ways, unable to understand him.
What escape for a discharged soldier,
who returns home full of hope,
but finds only disappointment
and inner turmoil?

Ken
Loach Born in
England in 1963. He began his
career as a theatre actor in college.
In 1961, he starts working in
television and cinema. After more
than a 40 year career, he has
already made many successful television
series and a cinematographic work
which gathers the critics praise.
“My
hope is that people will enjoy
the complexity of not knowing
what to wish for as the outcome.
I hope they’ll care about
what happens to the characters
and enjoy chewing it all over.”
