Francisco J. Lombardi

Four stories taking place in Lima, Peru in the 70s.

A Peruvian schoolteacher conspires with a journalist to assassinate the official responsible for her fiancé's murder.

Ella – well she has a name too – Luna (Patricia Garza), is actually about her much older husband and painter Alfredo (Paul Vega), and his choice of actions/reactions after she decides to leave him for a lover that he wasn’t aware of. Alberto has been going through a creative crisis and is under pressure to complete a series of paintings for a forthcoming show. It is nevertheless also plain to see that he’d been treating Luna, who’s also his model, largely as an object of desire and obsession – capturing with camera her every movement in the house when she’s not posing for him, and memorising her every physical feature, moles and warts included – he’d apparently counted twenty seven moles on her body. When Alfredo tracks down and entraps the lover she’d wanted to elope with (Rómulo Assereto), he’ll discover that they both have more in common than merely desiring the same woman…

An ambitious black comedy that tells three loosely related stories: a couple of elderly landowners, laid low by economic conditions and reformist politics, are trying to gather enough money to build themselves a marble tomb that would keep their remains in the style to which they still aspire; they give their now blind former housekeeper a pig that proves to be more trouble than it's worth as the effort to fatten it up destroys what little family the woman has; and one of the couple's tenants, who is presenter of a relentlessly optimistic radio self-help show, tries to put his own counsel into effect when he saves a young woman from suicide.

The Peruvian army captain Pantaleon Pantoja, a very serious and efficient officer, is chosen by his superiors to set up a special service of 'visitors' to satisfy the sexual needs of the soldiers posted on remote jungle outposts.

Short film directed by Augusto Tamayo, restored by Emilio Moscoso with the support of the Audiovisual Direction, Phonography and New Media - DAFO. Women of different ages meet in the bathroom of a nightclub and make intimate revelations.

Through out six different and yet parallel stories that take place during the corrupted goverment during the 90s in Peru, Lombardi tells the moral decomposition that ran through all classes and generations of the peruvian society.

The story is divided into two chapters. The murder of a teenager brings together two police officers. Their differences and the religious obsession of the younger one open a conflict apart from the investigation. The second episode follows the search for a businessman, Andrade, who suffers from a deadly virus with no cure. Desperate, Andrade seeks out Belisario, who puts him in contact with a suspicious doctor. The latter promises a miraculous cure with human fetuses. The plot raises how the tragic fate of the teenager crosses and connects these divided worlds. He ends up being cannibalized, constructing a cruel metaphor with obvious social resonances.

Passion, criminal instincts and traditions melt together in this film that shakes our understanding of crime.
