In the Middle of the Labyrinth

For Renzo, a teenager from Trujillo, Peru, the days pass by on the streets and skateboard runways where he tries to master new tricks on his board. Until fate leads him to meeting Zoe, a girl who spends her afternoons drawing the dozens of telephone antennaes that cut across the city sky, and his life transforms almost imperceptibly.

Directed by Salomón Pérez, In the Middle of the Labyrinth leans on a strong ensemble — Renzo Mada, Astrid Casos Portocarrero, Junny Ynoquio — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2019.
