A FILM BY KLAUDIA REYNICKE
Everything happens very fast in Lima in the summer of 1992. Lucia, Aurora and their mother Elena are about to leave. They are apprehensive about saying goodbye to a country, to family and friends, but above all to Carlos, a father and ex-husband who has all but disappeared from their lives. In the midst of Peru's social and political chaos, this announced departure will give rise to contradictory feelings, reviving old regrets and generating new illusions. Facing the uncertainty of their future head on, their frustrations and fears are mixed with excitement and expectation, as the family faces the difficult truth about the losses this departure implies. REINAS is an intense, choral and moving tale of initiation, in the spirit of the 90s.

CNN combat camerawoman Margaret Moth walks the razor's edge between sanity and chaos. Her mystery and beauty bewitches lovers and her confidence intimidates powerful men. Moth stares down danger and she confronts those that perpetuate it. In vivid, emotional dioramas, we see what Moth and her camera crew felt; the nightmare dreamscapes of war. In footage - both what she shot, the production shot, and others - we go on a rollicking ride through love, truth and war. Early on in her career she covers conflicts in the Middle East before fatally, she is sent to Sarajevo to cover the Bosnian war.

In the mid-60s, Janis Ian, a tiny teenage Jewish singer-songwriter from New Jersey, scores a controversial hit single called “Society’s Child,” about an interracial love relationship. The song launches her illustrious career but also ignites death threats, plunging her into an emotional tailspin—only to emerge from the ashes in the 1970s with an even bigger hit, “At Seventeen,” a song ahead of its time in confronting lookism and bullying.
