MÁNCORA introduces us to Santiago, a 21-year old from Lima who is haunted by his father’s recent and unexpected suicide. Santiago decides to take refuge in MÁNCORA, a beach town in the north of the country. Right before his departure, Santiago receives an unexpected visit from his stepsister Ximena and her husband Iñigo, 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 turn Máncora into a paradise lost. (official distributor synopsis)
