Alone (Spanish: Solos) is a 2015 Peruvian road comedy-drama film written and directed by Joanna Lombardi.[1] It stars Wendy Vásquez, Alberto Rojas Apel, Rodrigo Palacios & Diego Lombardi.[2]

Synopsis

Alone tells the story of a group of young people who premiere a movie in commercial theaters with complete failure. But one day they hear about itinerant cinema and it occurs to them that it may be a way of taking their beloved film to places "uncontaminated" by Hollywood cinema. With this idea they hire Beto, an Argentine who has been working for many years making open-air cinema. The trip begins with the enthusiasm of those who want to show their film and little by little it will become a reflection about the cinema, friends and loneliness.[2]

Alone premiered at the end of January 2015 at the Rotterdam International Film Festival – IFFR 2015.[4] After winning the National Competition for Feature Film Distribution Projects I-2016 organized by the Ministry of Culture for the commercial distribution of films,[5] it premiered on November 17, 2016 in Peruvian theaters.[6]

Controversy

After one day of the commercial release of the film in Peruvian theaters, the film was withdrawn from almost all theaters in the country.[7] Joanna Lombardi, the director, spoke negatively about her film's situation, proclaiming that all domestic films must be shown for at least 1 full week before being pulled from theaters.[8]
