About the film
This inventive sci-fi/fantasy film – selected as Peru’s entry for Best International Film at the Academy Awards in 2023 – is the story of “M”, an elderly homeless woman who drifts through life as a lonely shadow crossing the same geography every day. Her days are spent day-dreaming about her past life until a chance encounter with an ant prompts her to share her world with the tiny, insignificant insect…A world made of nostalgic memories and a dark presence that haunts her. Soon thereafter, a strange being – a “mechanical angel” – arrives to help her get her life on better footing. Evoking the sense of abandonment and mental anguish that homeless people suffer, Moon’s Heart is an extraordinarily touching film featuring an unforgettable performance by lead actress Haydeé Cáceres.
