Santiago Roman (Pietro Sibille) can't buy a refrigerator. The money he earns from taxi driving won't meet the minimum monthly payment, and when it comes to lines of credit, his status as a recently discharged sailor in the Peruvian Navy adds up to exactly nothing. Worse things have happened, and there is worse yet in store, but this latest hurt is one too many, and Santiago nearly cracks up with rage. Written and directed by Josué Méndez, "Dias de Santiago," his first film, zeros in on the disconnect between Santiago's sense of entitlement and the unforgiving realities of life in contemporary Lima.

"Ein überraschend intensiver Erstling."
Variety
"Die Kameraführung und die Dichte der Bilder bringen das Publikum unserem Helden sehr nahe und zeigen auf eindrückliche Weise seine Frustration, seine Wut, die Tragik der Situation."
Amnesty International
"Autre trouvaille de Rotterdam, le premier film du Péruvien Josué Méndez a étonné par son intensité"
Libération
"La performance étonnante de Pietro Sibille est essentielle à la réussite de 'Dias de Santiago' de Josué Méndez, un retravail péruvien incroyablement brillant de thêmes et du style de films américains qui traitent du traumatisme post-Vietnam, déplacée et adaptée à l`altitude de Lima. Jouant toujours à la frontière entre rétention et soudains coups de colère, Sibille donne corps au mémorable portrait d`un jeune vétéran de la guerre, déchiré entre le désir d'intégration et une violence instinctive originelle."
