She meets Junior online. He's an aspiring amateur porn dealer into conspiracy theories and is also convinced that the Mayan Apocalypse is happening.
Once they meet in the 'real world,' a series of bizarre events unfold in this contemporary non-love story that portrays a post-modern Lima as a glitchy computer virus full of corruption, psychedelia and ancient ruins.
Molero’s exhilarating debut fiction film is a playful mashup of internet cafes, slackers, not-so-innocent schoolgirls, amateur porn, Google Glass, acid trips, and guinea pigs as extras in an exorcism.
The U.S. theatrical run of Videofilia (and Other Viral Syndromes) is made possible by Marca Perú. Additional support is provided by Trade Commission of Peru, New York and Los Angeles; Cinema Tropical; and LatinLover.
