Carta di identità

The life and times of Peruvian poet Javier Heraud in the 1950s and 1960s, including his university years and his involvement with Latin American guerrilla movements.

Upallay follows the story of Beto, a young journalist eagerly awaiting the birth of his first child with the love of his life. He receives a visit from Luis, his best friend, who invites him on a journey to the Peruvian highlands to cover a strange event taking place during the Internal Armed Conflict. It’s the opportunity they’ve been waiting for—to use journalism as a tool for social change and a means to uncover the truth in a time of terror and uncertainty. Despite the fear and the risk, Beto accepts the challenge, driven by his commitment to the truth. However, upon arriving in the conflict zone, the team is warned of the dangers they face. In the midst of the chaos, they are mistaken for terrorists and sentenced to death by an Andean community.
