The Mouth of the Wolf
Directed by Francisco J. Lombardi
Produced by Tornasol Media, Inca Films S.A.
A grim, morally complex war drama set during Peru's counterinsurgency campaign, centered on a soldier's struggle between military authority and conscience amid violence and atrocity.
The military anti-terrorist army takes control of "Chuspi", an unknown and faraway small village, isolated by the terrorist group "Sendero Luminoso" (Shining Path). A soldier called Vitin Luna, and other young soldiers face an invisible, perhaps superior force. Their unit is commanded by a brutal lieutenant who declares the entire village guilty of treason. In the face of this crisis, Vitin must choose between blind obedience and his own conscience.
