Marisol Palacios

An ambitious black comedy that tells three loosely related stories: a couple of elderly landowners, laid low by economic conditions and reformist politics, are trying to gather enough money to build themselves a marble tomb that would keep their remains in the style to which they still aspire; they give their now blind former housekeeper a pig that proves to be more trouble than it's worth as the effort to fatten it up destroys what little family the woman has; and one of the couple's tenants, who is presenter of a relentlessly optimistic radio self-help show, tries to put his own counsel into effect when he saves a young woman from suicide.

Les voies de l'homme à la recherche de son passé, une femme à la recherche de son avenir et un homme avec un (quoique altruiste) objectif apparemment absurde, en traversant route panaméricaine. Le film montre la nature humaine tragi-comique tout en reflétant les relations quotidiennes péruviennes actuelles. Film tourné en 1999, mais en raison de problèmes budgétaires pourrait ne pas être publié commercialement jusqu'en mai 2011.
