Some more about the Story:
The story, which takes place in Peru / Lima in the 90s, is about two girls who live with their mother. She would like to leave the country and move to California, as there are repeated deadly attacks in the country and inflation is also making life difficult. In order to leave the country, however, the mother needs a signature from her ex-husband.
On the birthday of the older daughter (Aurora), the father comes to visit, who is obviously hardly interested in the children. In any case, the children's greeting is very cold when he appears at the door and it seems to have been a long time since their last encounter.
He promises the children that he will do something with them soon and the children's wish is to go to the beach, but once again he doesn't show up on the agreed day. More days go by without him getting in touch, but then one day he does turn up at the door and they go on their trip.
Aurora, of course, has completely different plans on the beach, wants to meet up with friends and talk about her crush, while she leaves her little sister Lucia behind with their father.
It takes a while for the ice to thaw between the two, but as the father is a good storyteller, he does manage to slowly build up a bond.
Meanwhile, Aurora develops the plan that she doesn't want to leave the country at all. She has her roots here and the fact that her father is now suddenly trying to establish contact is a welcome opportunity. When she secretly leaves the house one evening after an argument to go to her father's apartment and Lucia follows her, the two are arrested by the military, as there is a very strict curfew in the evenings due to the tense situation. When the family learns from Aurora's friends that the two children have been roaming the streets in the evening, they begin to search for them.
