Movies At Random: Paloma De Papel

Welcome back to my personal favorite feature, Movies At Random! If you haven’t heard, Media Services is operating out of the Information Desk for the summer, which means I can’t close my eyes, wander down the gemtrac, and pull out the weirdest looking DVD. No, instead, we’re letting the Google Random Number Generator determine our summer picks.

Today’s google-generated random movie isĀ Paloma De Papel (HU DVD 4061), a Peruvian coming of age film.

Here’s our summary:

Paloma de Papel recounts the harrowing coming-of-age story of Juan as he struggles to survive poverty, corruption, and violence when Shining Path guerrillas sweep through and force the helpless youngster into their ranks.

There’s not really a great trailer for this one, so you’ll have to content yourself with this still:

Looks interesting.
