At night, a mother, a father, and two children converse and dream about ways to free themselves from the trapiche, a machine and a tool of work that seems to come to life during their daily routines.

In the remote plains of Huánuco and among the ravines of Chanta Alta, distant villages in Cajamarca, in the northern Andes of Peru, the radio stations Radio Impacto and Radio Agricultura operate. We will learn about the daily life of these radio stations through their programs and the farmers who host them.

A punto de despegar poster
5.0

Some arms do not stop tearing down walls and houses. Others insist on cleaning and tidying rooms that will be gone the next day. Collapse and resistance coexist. In A punto de despegar we witness the disappearance of San Agustín, the last town that survived the era of the great haciendas of Lima. The expansion of the airport causes the eviction of the entire place and with its demolition comes the end of several traditions and ways of life. Modern Peru is a one-way train where the archaic has no place. A respectful camera preserves the faces, gestures and words of those last days. A film built after a decade of friendship with the neighbors. A farewell that radiates affection, intimacy and uneasiness in equal measure.
