Paper Dove is a grim realist depiction of the chaos in an Andean village and in one boy's life when Shining Path guerrillas sweep through and force the helpless youngster into their ranks. Set in the majestic Peruvian Andes in the 1980s, amidst a bloody civil war, "Paloma de Papel" (Paper Dove) recounts the harrowing coming of age of Juan (Antonio Callirgos), as he struggles to survive poverty, corruption and violence.
