Paraíso
Five teenagers, three boys and two girls, live in a refugee neighborhood south of Lima paradoxically known as Los Jardines del Paraíso, the gardens of paradise. Together with their parents, their share memories of wartime massacres between the army and the Shining Path. Despite their trauma, they yearn to move on with their life. But in an isolated world without opportunities, they have little hope of succeeding.

« Un film qui témoigne d'une étude profonde de la réalité sociale des bidonvilles de Lima, avec une simplicité qui fusionne avec une poésie qui le rend attachant.» Festival Jury Paris
