A young bright officer is given another rank and a VERY special assignment.
I will spare you the details, it is much more fun to watch the story develop. Needless to say things do not exactly go as planned.
It is part real story, part satire on Peruvian society, but the end result is interesting, so I am curious if anyone seen it.
As the credits start to roll, do not rush with your judgment - instead read a bit on the film, on the actor and on the story.

.....is Madeinusa.
An absolutely unique vision of the idiosyncrasies of remote Andean village life. Delivers a profound punch in the stomach when an urban outsider finds himself stranded there subject to local cultural practices.
A small and thoughtful film which provokes the senses in a way that frequently evades far bigger productions.
Highly recommended.
Avoid spoilers present in the Netfix viewer reviews.
great delights of film: one can become very knowledgeable of a society, a culture, a country that one is very likely never to visit. In my case, China, Philippines, Bhutan, Korea, Taiwan, Senegal--- and several more.
I have been to Peru for six weeks in the 70s when it was a hot-spot for international kids following the Cocaine-Inca Trail; I was traveling with my anthropologist "fiancee," that made it easier on our families, and we visited most of the famous Inca and pre-Inca sites (she was trying to get a job at one of the digs, figuring that showing up was a better strategy than just mailing a résumé [it wasn't...]). What's ironic is that, after spending lots of time in other countries--- Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia--- we reached the conclusion that Peruvian food was the absolute worst imaginable; in fact, the aforementioned other countries all had cuisine ranging from quite palatable to exquisitely delicious. Now, in many cities, Peruvian haute-cuisine restaurants are quite the vogue.
Weird.
I haven't seen either, but, I am always a sucker for something described as "bizarre," although my limits for tolerance of bizarre lies somewhere below David Lynch's "Inland Empire." Now THAT is a befuddling movie.

to mind. Now, what's baffling is why I enjoyed it so much. I definitely plan on watching it again. His images are so interesting. I can re-watch, enjoyably, many Lynch films.
