Oblivion

El olvido (Oblivion) is about a forgotten city (Lima), a forgotten people (the Peruvians) and a forgotten history (that of Peru). These people, for whom irony is a weapon of survival, have to forget, in order not to give way to cynicism, hatred and grief. The film is also about those who try to remember the old days when life - despite class differences, corruption and violence - was still good. (San Sebastian International Film Festival)
