Step into the breathtaking landscapes of rural Peru with RETALBO, a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film directed by Álvaro Delgado-Aparicio. Told entirely in Ayacucho Quechua, this award-winning debut follows Segundo, a 14-year-old boy learning the sacred art of crafting religious retablos from his father—until a life-altering secret threatens to unravel everything he knows.
Retablo has earned international acclaim, including:
Teddy Award for Best LGBTQ-Themed Debut Film at the Berlin International Film Festival
Best Peruvian Film at the Lima Film Festival
Havana Star Prize for Best Fiction Film at the Havana Film Festival New York
Selected as Peru’s official entry for Best International Feature at the 92nd Academy Awards
This is more than a film—it’s a poignant exploration of love, legacy, and the courage to be true to oneself. Don’t miss your chance to experience one of Peru’s most celebrated cinematic achievements.
This film is NOT recommended for young audiences due to its mature themes and emotional intensity.
