THE BEST FAMILIES

• Tatiana Astengo
• Gabriela Velázquez
• Gracia Olayo
• Grapa Paola

Peruvian dramatic comedy about class struggle that has been defined as a kind of ‘Rule of the Game’ seen through the prism of Pedro Almodóvar. With a lot of black humor, the producer, director, and screenwriter Javier Fuentes-León dissects the society of that Andean country, Peru, and denounces the inequalities and injustices that prevail there.  Everything starts at a birthday party, when the secrets of two families, two aristocrats, and the two sisters who work for them as housemaids come to light. Selected in the Malaga and Miami festivals.”

Luzmila and Peta are two sisters who come from a modest environment and work as housemaids for Alicia and Carmen, two aristocratic ladies of Peru. They are almost considered a part of the families or, at least, that’s what it seems… But one day, as the city is taken over by violent protests, a birthday celebration gathers all the members of both families together. A long-held secret involving both households — upstairs and downstairs — is suddenly revealed, blowing up the bubble of their perfect aristocratic world forever.
