“Identidad” is an introspective journey about what it means to be born in Peru in the early 1980s, when the worst economic, social and political crisis in its history began.

It tells the story of Alice, who is sexually assaulted by a man. Judas, Alice's boyfriend, always dressed as a clown, forcibly executes the perpetrator, while images of his former girlfriend, Lucy, who left him for another girl, haunt his mind.

Three wayward youths decide one day to hijack a garbage truck and steal it, intending to fill it with the people they consider "trash" of Lima society: politicians, idlers, tabloid journalists, celebrities, men, women, the elderly, metalheads, the mentally ill, drug addicts, and just about everyone. The ordeal ends when, by chance, they actually kill someone. The adrenaline of the night reaches a standstill as the youths head home, but not before carrying out one last heist against the abusive father of one of their girlfriends.
