Alone (Spanish: Solos) is a 2015 Peruvian road comedy-drama film written and directed by Joanna Lombardi.[1] It stars Wendy Vásquez, Alberto Rojas Apel, Rodrigo Palacios & Diego Lombardi.[2]
Synopsis
[edit]Alone tells the story of a group of young people who premiere a movie in commercial theaters with complete failure. But one day they hear about itinerant cinema and it occurs to them that it may be a way of taking their beloved film to places "uncontaminated" by Hollywood cinema. With this idea they hire Beto, an Argentine who has been working for many years making open-air cinema. The trip begins with the enthusiasm of those who want to show their film and little by little it will become a reflection about the cinema, friends and loneliness.[2]
