Movie

The Comeback

El Regreso

Set against the little-known Aug. 28 festivities in the coastal Peruvian border town of Tacna, Martha, a once-famous actress in crisis, returns to sell her family home and use the proceeds to fund a play she hopes could revive her career. As the city celebrates Aug. 28th, which marks the anniversary of Tacna’s return to Peru after its war with Chile, her plans are upended by her sister’s sudden illness, forcing Martha to stay in the place she hoped to leave behind.
