The sins of the past force a painful reckoning in the present in Magallanes, a quietly gripping Peruvian thriller about old political wounds and the elusive quest for redemption. The film follows a cabbie's attempt to right a past injustice through desperate criminal acts, but his conscience isn't so easily unburdened.
An aged Peruvian taxi driver, formerly an aide to a feared military officer in the bloodiest days of government repression during the Shining Path insurgency, unexpectedly re-encounters a young indigenous woman who was brutally victimized by his superior. http://tiff.net/festivals/festival15/contemporaryworldcinema/magallanes
