“You know what’s happened recently? Maybe it’s in melancholic fashion, but I’ve been starting to miss characters, wondering ‘where are they now?’ And the one I miss most is called Julio Zapata from Y tu mamá también. I wonder what he’s up to. Because he’s perhaps the character that I have related the most to in terms of upbringing and you know..." —Gael Garcia Bernal, 2015

LA LLORONA 2019 | dir. Jayro Bustamante

Did someone hear a woman cry? ...It was her.

Wiñaypacha ('Eternity', 2017 🇵🇪), directed by Oscár Catacora

The first Peruvian film shot entirely in the indigenous Aymara language tells the story of an elderly couple named Willka and Phaxsi (Sun and Moon) living in a remote part of the rugged Andes mountains. The pair stoically face the challenges of daily life while waiting for the return of their son Antuku, who has migrated to the city. The film is based on the lives of the director’s maternal grandparents—his paternal grandfather plays the role of Willka.

Self-taught director Oscár Catacora died in 2021 at the age of 34 from appendicitis, which he could not treat in time due to the lack of medical posts in the province of Collao, where he was filming Yana-Wara. (His uncle Tito was able to finish the film in 2023).
