New Showbiz Analysis

Climas is a character-driven drama that presents a multifaceted view of Peru. By focusing on three women in different geographic and social contexts, the film avoids a one-dimensional portrayal of the nation. The film excels in its layered approach to gender, class, and geography. It emphasizes the inner lives of women and offers a nuanced look at Peru's diverse ethnic and regional identities. However, the film's exploration of identity is limited by a lack of explicit LGBTQ+ representation and the absence of disability narratives. While it addresses social taboos, it adheres to certain traditional boundaries.

Official Synopsis

Three women of vastly differing ages and origins cope with life in three distinct regions of Peru. Eva, a young girl from the lush tropics of the Amazonian jungle, experiences a sexual awakening by way of a forbidden relationship with her uncle. Victoria, a wealthy socialite from Lima, suffers a terrible secret that renders her inner life as gray and melancholic as the city surrounding her. Zoraida, an elderly peasant from a destitute village in the Andean Mountains, confronts her worst fears in the wake of the unexpected return of her estranged son. Three unconnected regions, three introverted women, three stories of discovery shaped by three different geographies, societies and climates of the same fragmented country.
