Internal Outskirts - Echoes of a continent, filmed and felt

A city viewed from exile transforms into a vessel of nostalgia. Winter becomes the perfect season to capture the soul of Lima, when the gray sky looms low and the fog turns every walk into a dreamlike ritual. In this reflective portrait, Lima’s aristocratic past intertwines with the lives of those who migrated in search of the “Lima dream.”

Set in the heart of a city under constant reconstruction, this film delicately explores memory, distance, and the overlapping layers of history and identity in one of Latin America’s largest capitals.
