Mancora Page #3

Synopsis: An adventure drama that tells the story of Santiago, a 22-year old from Lima. Following his father's suicide, haunted by his inner daemons and hatred for the world in general, Santiago decides to escape the crude Lima winter to take refuge in Mancora, a beach to the north of Peru where it is always summer. Upon his departure, Santiago receives the unexpected visit from his stepsister, Ximena, a young and beautiful photographer in her late twenties, accompanied by her husband Inigo, a young surgeon from Spain. The three take off on a journey escaping reality and in search of themselves. Santiago and Ximena find refuge in each other, which sparks off jealousies within Inigo, and a trip that was intended to be a simple escape turns out to be much more, when each of the three crosses limits and borders they should never have crossed. The three are placed face to face with their dreams and daemons. "Mancora" is a story of redemption, where a kid becomes a man and learns to forgive the world

...and l didnt even pick up...

My father killed himself

because of me.

Santi, he didnt kill

himself because of you...

...that was his decision.

l hadnt seen him in six months,

l had to wait till his funeral.

No Santi, please.

What are you doing here so early?

Someones in a mood.

Since you dont want to

spend time with us here...

...lve decided well

Open the trunk, this weighs a ton!

Hey you, if youre going to be

so serious stop and lll get off.

Cmon, gimme a little smile...

Hey Santi, what type of

music did your dad sing?!

Youre speaking too loud!

Sorry. So what kind of

-Because they were asking for help.

And why should l stop to help the

New York but not here.

the mentality of a child.

Child...right.

Nobody.

Who helped me when
