- Synopsis
- Percy (25) is a young liberal gay man who leaves socialist Venezuela and arrives in Peru to work, raise money and arrange his papers to emigrate to the United States. Working as a waiter in a restaurant in “Jr Risso”, Lima's pink zone, Percy enters into a romantic relationship with Rey (49), a conservative television presenter who finds fame as a relentless opinion leader against immigrants.
  Rey's story goes back to Huancayo when he accepts a job offer in Lima. Before leaving, he abandons his partner Angel. While covering an anti-immigrant march downtown, Rey interviews Percy, becomes captivated by him, and longs to see him again.
  
  Percy's story begins in Venzalua, more than 4 thousand kilometers to the north. He is a student leader and after a protest against the dictatorship he is forced to leave his family, his boyfriend and his country. Before escaping, his boyfriend gives him a paper with the name of someone who will help him in Lima.
  
  When Percy obtains a visa to the United States, he tells Angel, who now lives in Lima. She betrays him and tells Rey about the trip. Out of spite, Rey uses his connections to prevent Percy from leaving Peru.
  
  Alone: without a boyfriend or friends, he is unable to leave and remains in limbo in Peru.
  On the TV set at a bittersweet birthday celebration, Rey blows out his fifty candles.
