Ruta del Jaca
In this film, which blends together fiction and documentary, American Matt Lorenz travels to Peru to find out how his parents met their end there twenty years ago. The local authorities claim they were murdered by terrorists, but there are also letters from Matt’s mother describing her visits to shamans to cure her cancer. Matt’s parents were also in touch with a young singer, Sonia Morales, who later became a Peruvian popular hero. His search takes Matt through all of Peru as he gradually gets closer to the truth.
