Of the two Lima documentaries on this site, this is the better one, and actually, I was very surprised how much I enjoyed this film generally. While thinking it was just going to be an over-glorification of the upper class in Lima (which it is) there is a lot more in this film, the music with that castanet solo. We meet an OBVIOUSLY well-to-do family and their servants. (great scene with the little girl and the servant putting baubles in her hair), the furniture is fantastic, featuring beds with bedposts over 5 feet high, the dancing, the customs, the food and the general family togetherness…
