Director
Claudia Llosa follows her award-winning feature directorial debut,
Madeinusa,
with this stark meditation on a grim period of South American history
in which approximately 70,000 people were murdered between the years
1980 and 2000. Fausta (
Magaly Solier)
has fallen ill with a disease passed down from mother to daughter
through breast milk. But Fausta's affliction isn't biological; it
strictly affects Peruvian women who were raped or abused during those
two terrible decades of persecution. While those days are long gone,
Fausta stands as a living reminder of the horrors that once plagued her
country, her malady a deep-rooted fear that stripped the young innocent
of her soul. After Fausta's mother dies, the horrified girl is forced to
confront her greatest fear by staring straight into the black heart of
her own paranoia. Now, as Fausta sets out to discover her own path to
freedom, she inserts a potato into her vagina in order to protect her
body from unwanted intruders.
