Trefwoord Lima

Bijna twintig jaar na haar vertrek draaide regisseuse Heddy Honigmann in haar geboortestad Lima de documentaire roadmovie Metaal en Melancholie. In Lima, de ruim zeven miljoen inwoners tellende hoofdstad van Peru, raakte de economie steeds verder in het slop.

Lima, 1988. Twee broers blijven alleen thuis terwijl er een stroomstoring is. De een is astmatisch en de ander is bang voor wat zich in het donker verbergt.

In 2013, Michaella McCollum from Northern Ireland and Melissa Reid from Scotland were caught at the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Peru trying to smuggle £1.5 million of cocaine into Spain. The pair, also known as the `Peru Two,' were sentenced to almost seven years in one of the most notorious prisons in the world. The series provides a first-hand account from Michaella, a former club hostess in the Spanish nightlife, as she traces her journey from arriving in the foreign country for her first holiday to her downward spiral into the illicit world of drugs and excess.
