Synopsis

It is a love story between Xavier Miró coming from a wealthy family thanks to his father, a renowned lawyer, and Soledad Quispe, a young woman who lives with her grandparents in the district of Los Olivos. Xavier lives in Miraflores and, following his father's wishes, studies law at the University of Lima. On the other hand, Soledad is a student at the National University of San Marcos, with the aspiration of becoming an outstanding ballet dancer. However, the relationship between the two is threatened by Xavier's father, who opposes his son maintaining a courtship with Soledad, due to social class differences and the fear that he will join someone outside his socioeconomic circle.[6]

Cast

Release

Acuérdate de mí had its world premiere in October 2022 at the 9th Trujillo Film Festival.[7] It had its commercial premiere on 14 February 2024, in Peruvian theaters.[8]

Reception

Rodrigo Portales from Cinencuentro negatively criticized the film due to the poor acting of Alec Chaparro, one of the protagonists, who fails to express his feelings and whose voice seems to have been superimposed on the original voice. Furthermore, he criticized the superficiality of the main plot, whose main theme of racism and social problems isn't explored in depth.[9]
