In 1992, as Peru is rocked by political turmoil, Lucía and Aurora prepare to emigrate to the United States with their mother in search of a better life. In order to travel, they need their father’s signature on the consent documents. Carlos, absent throughout their entire childhood, suddenly decides to fight to win back his two “queens”. Queens is an emotionally powerful and moving coming-of-age story about family responsibility and the search for redemption boasting outstanding acting achievements. The film attracted the attention of audiences and critics at Sundance 2024, and received the Grand Prix in the Generation Kplus section at the Berlinale and the Audience Award at Locarno.
