Synopsis

In the quiet town of Chaclacayo, Luis Barletto, a successful fishing businessman with problems with the government, spends New Year's Day at his country house. There, he meets José, the son of a gardener who has endured years of hardship due to his poverty and plain looks. As Barletto relaxes, a shocking and unexpected event occurs when the vulnerable teenage boy arrives at the house with a gun, leading to a tragic scene of violence. The film examines class differences, isolation, and the desperation born from feeling powerless. The relationship between Barletto and José explores the complexities of human nature, the effects of societal pressures, and the darker side of people pushed to their limits. The events of January 1, 1972, prompt reflection on the consequences of social hierarchies and their impact on ordinary people.
