The Shape of Things to Come
Directed by V. Checa
Peru | 82 minutes | 2021
In a dystopian city that resembles Lima, Peru, Teo, a twelve year old boy, works with his father Luis maintaining a strange machine meant to generate rain over a severely droughty city. Luis, obsessed with making the machine work, puts the machine at risk in the face of constant embargoes and threats from authorities. Teo, seeking to help his father, gets involved with a gang of young spies led by twin brothers, Raiza and Baca. Teo's new experiences make him question his father's life's purpose, and secrets about the machine come to light.
