It was OK
Máncora is a beach in the north of Peru, the films that come out of that country usually operate in cities like Lima or Cuzco, which is why I was surprised by the location on the aforementioned coastal beach.
Although it is a simple and easy story to carry (the runnning time is not too heavy), the film does not comply with giving a clear message nor does it give a final purpose to its protagonists and history; great scenery and production value, the performances were good although the personalities as well as the dialogues of some characters become very clichéd and repetitive.
Peruvian cinema no longer usually surprises with the plots of its films, but Máncora was undoubtedly the exception. 4/10.
