Peru has announced that the sci-fi Moon Heart / Corazón de la luna by Aldo Salvini will represent Peru at the 95th Academy Awards in the competition for Best International Feature Film. The film had its world premiere at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival, where it won the Best Feature Film Award.
Moon Heart is the story of M—played by veteran actress Haydeé Cáceres—a lonely woman who lives adrift: a lonely shadow that crosses her own geography every day. She spends her days dreaming about her past, until one day she finds something very similar to her: an ant. And what does a person do when they find an ant? You crush it with your finger, you blow it away. Instead, M decides to share her world with it. A world made of nostalgic memories and a dark presence that haunts her, until the day a "mechanical angel" arrives to help her.
Peru is looking for a second nomination for Best International Feature after Claudia Llosa’s The Milk of Sorrow / La teta asustada nabbed a nomination in 2009.
