I Still Am (Sigo Siendo)
Directed by Javier Corcuera
2012, Peru/Spain, 110 min
Spanish w/English subtitles
A film about characters, characters who are part of a country. Although the film talks about music and musicians, it is not strictly a musical but rather a reflection on personal stories apparently very far apart, stories that look for one another in a country also immersed in the struggle to find itself and create its own identity: Peru.
