Magallanes (2015)

In the bustling city of Lima, the echoes of a turbulent past collide with the struggle of survival in the present. Here, we meet Magallanes, a battle-scarred former soldier played by Damian Alcazar, who now navigates the city's grittiest alleys as a taxi driver. His life is a balance of past loyalty and present duty, a precarious tightrope walk fuelled by a sense of duty to his former commanding officer, a retired colonel, portrayed by Federico Luppi. Once a commanding figure in the battle against subversion in Ayacucho, the colonel now relies on Magallanes' services in his twilight years. As Magallanes threads through the city's veins in his taxi, a chance encounter with Celina, a humble woman portrayed by Magaly Solier, ignites a dormant flame within him. Once a mere silhouette in Magallanes' haunting past, Celina now runs a modest hair salon on the city's fringes. Her reappearance unravels a cocoon of secrets and revives memories of a dark chapter from their shared history. "Magallanes" is a journey into the heart of a man wrestling with the ghosts of his past while trying to survive in a challenging present. It's an exploration of loyalty, atonement, and the enduring impact of past actions on present lives. The secrets that bind Magallanes and Celina will slowly unfurl, drawing viewers into a captivating narrative where history is as alive as the teeming streets of Lima. With every turn of the taxi's wheels, the past and present converge, revealing that some chapters are never truly closed.
