Netflix opens to Peruvian cinema with the premiere of Canción sin nombre

The work, made in black and white and with a realistic aesthetic, is based on a real life story. The protagonist is Georgina, an Ayacucho woman who arrives in Lima about to give birth to later suffer the abduction of her baby as soon as she is born. The young woman seeks help from the authorities but ignored, decides to report in the press and gains the support of a journalist who undertakes the task of investigating the case.

Song Without a Name had its world premiere at the prestigious Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival , where it achieved unanimous critical support. Since then it has been released in France, where it remained on the bill for eight weeks; and then in Spain, Switzerland, Italy and the United States.

With this premiere, Netflix is ??betting on the profitability of Peruvian cinema , which has previously had major international successes also from the hand of female filmmakers, such as Madeinusa and La teta humana, both by Claudia Llosa, for example.
