Paraíso
Peru
Hector Galvez
It is exactly a month since Loco was killed by a rival gang. For that reason Joaquin, Antuanet, Lalo, Mario and Sara, long-life friends, walk across the sandy outskirts outside «Gardens of Eden» to leave offerings at their friend's grotto. Antuanet, the most superstitious of the group, uses the opportunity to ask their friends to make a wish. And if adolescence is always a difficult stage of life, it's even more complicated for these friends who live in this borough in the outskirts of the city of Lima. They realise how day after day the hard environment in which they live slowly kills their dreams and opportunities.
