Diane says: “Director Rossana Díaz Costa gets her own adaptation of this preeminent Latin American novel on screen in time for the novel’s 50th anniversary. Julius is the youngest of four children in a wealthy family living palatially in Lima, Peru in the 1950s. Because his parents are preoccupied with politics, social life, new partners, etc., he spends most of his time in the company of the household’s servants, who are indigenous people from the Andes. So he sees the damage done to the staff by, for example, his mother turning a blind eye to her oldest son’s abuse of the nanny. Julius, still a small child, begins to intervene to bring justice in this and other situations.
