This is the first instalment of a series of Peruvian films that will be screened at Arkadia this Autumn.

Country: Perú
Release year: 1999
Duration: 144 min.
Language: Spanish with English subtitles
Certification: K16

Synopsis:
Captain Pantaleón Pantoja is a an upright but rather naive Peruvian officer who has to recruit a number of prostitutes in order to satisfy the needs of army soldiers based in the Amazon jungle. The hot climate provokes too many soldiers to commit sexual assaults which damage the army’s reputation. Therefore, after his initial dismay, the young officer embraces the unusual mission, armed with a laptop, good faith and ambition. He quickly delivers convincing results with women dressed in sexy clothes in the colours of the Peruvian flag.

You are all most welcome.

Warm regards,

Ian
