As Peru is rocked by political crisis in 1992, Lucía and Aurora prepare to emigrate to the United States with their mother. In order to travel, they need their father’s consent. Their father Carlos, absent during their childhood, decides to fight to win back his two “queens”. Awarded the Grand Prix at the Berlinale, Queens is a powerful coming-of-age story about family responsibility and the search for redemption.
