Oblivion

Taglines

Overview

Heddy Honigmann returns to her birthplace of Lima, Peru to reacquaint herself with a place and people dear to her heart. It is about a forgotten city, a forgotten history and a forgotten people. With irony as their loved weapon for survival, they have to forget as well, in order not to give way to cynicism, hatred and grief. It is about remembering the old days when life - despite class differences, corruption and violence - was still good: waiters, bartenders and shopkeepers who are fighting a losing battle and have lost everything. It is also about the children who manage to survive by mastering the art of street life and who reveal the country in it's true colours. Just like the dogs they share the streets with, they have no good memories to forget.

Title

El olvido

Taglines

Overview

El olvido trata sobre una ciudad olvidada (Lima), un pueblo olvidado (los peruanos) y una historia olvidada (la de Perú). Esta gente, para quien la ironía es la mejor arma de supervivencia, tiene que olvidarse del odio y del dolor para no dar lugar al cinismo. La película también trata de aquellos que intentan recordar los tiempos en los que la vida —a pesar de la diferencia de clases, la corrupción y la violencia— era buena: viejos camareros y comerciantes que pelean hacia una derrota asegurada habiendo perdido todo, incluso sus derechos. También toca el tema de unos niños que sobreviven descubriendo el arte de la vida en la calle y que muestran la realidad del país. (FILMAFFINITY)
