Den Andra stranden
A photographer from Sweden, he met them whilst doing a reportage about their work on a Lima rubbish tip. He agreed to be godfather to their small daughter, only a few years old at the time. Seventeen years passed by before he was able to return to their country. But he had continued to write to them. The reunion is out of the ordinary. They had awaited him as the promise of a better world, but the friendship, although still alive, is soon put to the test. This journey will become the subject of a film in which the director will turn the camera on himself.
