The decadence and moral corruption of the idle rich is laid bare in this drama from Peruvian writer and director Josue Mendez. Twenty-something Andrea (Anahí de Cárdenas) was born and raised in a wealthy family, but she's begun to earn riches of her own as a successful fashion model. Andrea is more concerned with nightlife and hanging out with the right people than her career, but she's becoming famous enough to scandalize her father Agustin (Edgar Saba), a socialite who is more worried about what people think about him than the welfare of his children. Agustin, however, isn't very good at following his own advice -- he's living with his latest paramour, Elisa (Maricielo Effio), a coarse but beautiful woman from a poor family who is young enough to be his daughter. And as Andrea does battle with Elisa over Agustin's loyalties, Andrea's teenaged brother Diego (Sergio Gjurinovic) is wrestling with his incestuous desires for his sister. Dioses received its North American premiere at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A 23-year-old Peruvian Navy veteran struggles to re-integrate himself into society only to hit a series of roadblocks both societal and psychological, in the feature directorial debut from Peruvian filmmaker Josue Mendez. Santiago Roman (Pietro Sibille) has just returned to Peru following six years of military service. Coolly received by his parents and unable to find a stable, well-paying job, the dejected Santiago's attempt to further his education is quickly squelched when he discovers that his military pension doesn't offer the money needed to pay his way through school. Though Santiago eventually lands a low-paying job as an inner-city taxi driver, his disdain for the scum of the city finds the formerly virile young soldier sinking into a deep-rooted depression. When a group of Santiago's former military buddies hatch a plan to rob a local bank, the conflicted veteran must choose between an honest life of poverty and an act of desperation that could end in tragedy. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
