Everything happens very fast in Lima in the summer of 1992. Lucia, Aurora, and their mother Elena are about to leave. They are apprehensive about saying goodbye to a country, to family and friends, but above all to Carlos, a father and ex-husband who has all but disappeared from their lives. In the midst of Peru’s social and political chaos, their departure will give rise to contradictory feelings, reviving old regrets and generating new illusions. Reinas is an intense and moving tale of initiation, in the spirit of the ’90s.
