Check out this trailer for a film titled Song Without A Name, an acclaimed film that debuted at the Cannes Directors Fortnight last year (2019). The feature comes to the screen from director Melina León, and is finally getting a theatrical release next week on the 30th October.
Song Without a Name (Canción Sin Nombre) is set in Peru in 1988. The country is in the grip of a devastating political crisis. Georgina, a young woman from the Andes, has her newborn daughter stolen, after giving birth at a fake health clinic. The desperate search for her baby leads her to Pedro, a young and tenacious investigative journalist who will stop at nothing to get to the truth.
As well as being a searing examination of the inequities of class, and the dehumanizing effects of politics, Song Without a Name is also a nerve-wracking race against time, with Georgina and Pedro on a seemingly futile search for the stolen child. Audiences who relished the Costa Gravas classic Missing, or the Oscar-winning Spotlight, about the power of journalism to uncoverunpalatable truths, and Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma, will find themselves haunted and enthralled by this assured, resonant masterwork.
