“Identidad” is an introspective journey about what it means to be born in Peru in the early 1980s, when the worst economic, social and political crisis in its history began. This trip results in a look, perhaps hopeful, about a recent moment of social change and transformation whose essence was reflected in what happened around the return of the Peruvian Selection to the World Cup after 36 years of failures.
