Martín Rebaza Ponce de León

Mel is a photographer who preferably takes pictures of trees, used hotel rooms after sexual encounters and the streets of her hometown Trujillo. After her mother dies, she learns about a large debt she has left her. In an exhibition about her city, which she has organized with some colleagues, her picture catches the attention of a woman whom Mel has already come across in her photographic expeditions on the streets. They develop a special connection while accompanying each other through their days, wandering in a black and white Trujillo.

Martin, a filmmaker based in Germany, returns to the Peruvian jungle to reconnect with his family during the political campaign of his father, who is running for public office for the party that vindicates former dictator Alberto Fujimori. Upon his arrival, he records the chaos of an austere campaign, resulting in an intimate and political portrait of a middle-class Peruvian family that is now remote to him, but that accompanies him from the distance as a migrant.
