Máncora is the second film of Peruvian director Ricardo de Montreuil. Mancora was premiered as an official selecction at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
From the director of La mujer de mi hermano and the writer of Voces Inocentes comes Mancora, a tender and pulsating road-trip drama that delicately traces the shifting emotional boundaries between three disconnected souls.
Mancora introduces us to Santiago (Jason Day), a 21-year old from Lima who is haunted by his father’s recent and unexpected suicide. Suffocating in the chill of a grey Lima winter, Santiago decides to take refuge in MÁNCORA, a beach town in the north of the country where summer never ends. Right before his departure, Santiago receives an unexpected visit from his stepsister Ximena (Elsa Pataky), a vibrant, sexy Spanish photographer and her husband Iñigo (Enrique Murciano), a brash art-collector from New York. The tranquility of their getaway is quickly shattered by a powerful act of boundary-crossing and betrayal, which threatens to transform their relationship forever and turn Máncora into a paradise lost.
