Synopsis
Before beginning their university studies, Diego and his sister Andrea spend the summer in the family villa on the Peruvian coast together with their father, a wealthy business man and his new young girlfriend. Torn between the extreme love for his sister and the difficult relationship with his father, spending days and nights together with his friends going from party to party where alcohol, drugs and money are not a problem, Diego struggles to find a place in this upper-class society where all characters behave as gods: beyond rules, beyond morality and beyond belief.
Director’s Statement
DIOSES is an exploration on the day-to-day life inside a determined social group, that of the Peruvian upper class. A group that has chosen to isolate itself, geographically and intellectually, from the serious economical and social problems affecting the country. They are a fringe group, but by their own decision. They have chosen to create their own “country” inside the real one, where they can raise their kids safely and sustain the structure that holds everything together.
I believe there is an urgency to deal with this issue, an importance to show how moral misery, and not only economic misery, is present in my society, and how it is not a quality exclusively owned by the lower classes, but a dilemma that defines us and prevents our society from evolving into a more inclusive, hospitable and sincere one.
