About the film
Ana and Lucho are two teenagers who live in Peru. Their story of love, which starts in childhood, reveals the changes which took place in this country during the 80s. For them, the only way to survive in the middle of violence and lack of opportunities is through their love, a sort of refuge which has as its homeland an imaginary country called Timbuktu. Nevertheless, the reality will stand in their way and collapse their utopia.
