L'Oubli

The inhabitants of Lima have survived decades of economic crisis, terrorism and government power: Peru is a torn country. Oblivion accompanies people from the army of street musicians, singers, salesmen and shoeshine boys who desperately try to make ends meet. Some of these survivors pursue the most unusual activities: Manufacturers of presidential sashes are among them, leather goods repair workers and frog juice sellers. We meet bartenders and waiters, employees in the city's best restaurants and hotels, who flock every morning from the slums to the city centre. Oblivion shows the daily struggle of the "little people" for survival - and their resistance to being forgotten.
