[Our story]

"Soul of the eighties, I want to be with
you. I need you to come back."

The history of a country is not only
a list of its presidents,

nor the record of their most important
historical events.

The story of a country also takes place
in the houses of it's citizens.

It passes, immortalized in the memories of each family.

And that memory is weaving the fabric.
Out of each of those memories comes

the thread of something immense that
forms the identity of a nation,

made up of millions of lives.

So, from time to time it is important
to stop, look back, and understand.

To understand how we got here. How we are
all a product of what happened

in our times. And of our decisions.

I am fifty-three years old.

My name is Francisco Robles, just like
my dad.

"Paco", for those who have
known me forever.

And today I feel the need to remember my
sixteenth year, in 1978.

When I stopped being a child, and became a man

that day by day made his story.
Our story.

(sound of a horn)

(background chatter)

Good morning!

Good morning.

Ten tolete breads, please.

Good morning.

Morning.

Good morning Fransisco.

Hello Rose. How are you?

Eighteen soles, young man.

What, ten pieces of bread aren't
fifteen soles?

Yesterday the unit only rose eighty,
Fransico.

There's always a price raise.

The usual?

Yes.
(giggles)

Fransico, what's up half-pint?

(laughs)

The next time you go out to buy bread,
come bathed and look nice

so Veronica will think you're handsome.

Why does it matter what I look like? We've
known each other since we were four.

Bye!

Bye.

What are you going to buy, young man?

Has the price of a roll also risen?
And the croissants?

(motorcyle rumbles)

(rock music)

Has my dad left?

He left early to go to the store.

Your mom will worry about you. Why don’t you tell her that you’re not going to be there to sleep?

since there’s a telephone at home.

Bruno! It would kill my mom if I was out all night,

at least let her know.

Nancy!

Yes, love?

Have you seen my electric shaver?

No my pet.

Thanks Dad.

A miracle you’re not clean yet. Come out already, you’ve been in there a half an hour. Come out.

I can’t, I’m naked.

You're so cool, because you take so long

The boys need to shower too, enough.

Well, they need to shower earlier.

Four of us to one bathroom. Listen:

We have to move. This house is too small.

the land in San Borja is a good price.

Nancy, please. San Borja is too far away.

Come on, we could build a beautiful house

just the way we want it

Prices went up. It's not my fault

You see? And you want to go into debt?

What if we can't pay.

And what are you going to buy?

Land in San Borja. Pacho, don't be scared

We can take out a mortgage if we're smart.

The interest isn't too high.

Milagros hurry! Your brother needs a turn

Don't talk to me about moving!

Why are you screaming, I'm already out.

Mom wants to move to the end of the world.

Not even buses pass by San Borja

Liar! One passes at 12. and it's not like

we are moving tomorrow.

Cielo, look at it like a business.

Your mom talks like economist Silva Ruete,

You can laugh, but if we buy this house

I take credit for doing what's best for us

Please Dear, think about it.

I told you no!

Shut up and get in the bath!

Milk?

Me.

(Paco screams)

(Laugh) I ran out of hot water.

Anabel, hurry or I'm leaving!

So many delays!

Don't be so annoying, baby!

It's just like the last time
I waited for you;

we ended up being late

Mili!

Hello

Mili, give me
your chemistry homework

Haha, mine is trash, but if you want

Hi

Listen, could you give me
your chemistry homework?

Hey Paquito. Are you collecting
the world cup album?

No I never got them from
Kemi or Plati or Cuñao

Tato, you're funny. What are you doing
putting albums together? We are 16, not 7

Hey, have you seen the magazine
with nude women?

Yes, I'll lend it to you
if you give me the figurines

But you'll lend it to me?

Yes, let's go

June 18th will be a historic day
for the country

The last time that people voted
was the 1963 presidential election

It has been exactly 15 years,
that's why these elections are important

for the constitute assembly,
which will make a new constitution

which will replace the current one
dating back to 1933

Professor, what do we do
if there is a game on that day?

Well, the citizens over 18
have to go and vote. This date was

chosen before we knew that
Peru would advance to the second round.

We have to pass, cmon, professor

Obviously I want to pass too

We have a good team.
Cubillas is one of our best players.

(gibberish)

Ok, ok, ok, calm down,
remember that we are in history class

Not in soccer class

But, you think we can keep talking
about the world cup, don't you?

That's what the people want

oh, that's what you want?

okay, homework. Homework. Note.
Find out which candidates ran

for the presidential election of 1963.

The one going there isn't Belaunde,
no, he's the one they overthrew

The architect Fernando Belaunde.

Professor, and according to history
can you tell us why all Argentines are

so cool, so attractive, and so white?

(ooooo)

In Argentina there are a lot
of European immigrants

That's why there are many
Italian last names

And while your question
goes in a different direction

It can help us learn something useful

Let's see, who can tell me the current
president of the Republic of Argentina?

General Rafel Videla, and he
gained office due to a military coup

Hey Professor, it isn't fair for
your son to respond. That's a trap.

(oooo)

Ok, did everyone write down the homework

("yes")

I don't want you to tell me
"I didn't hear"

"I was looking the other way"
"I didn't know"

I know you all well.

Professor, don't be evil,
you're telling us to find facts

that happened a long time ago.
Where will we find that?

(laughter)

Put in a little work, Anabel.
You can always find something.

Listen Professor, it'd be super cool
to have one of those computers

Like from the movies, where you
press a button and "bam"

All the answers show up.

I imagine it'll be that way someday
when you're all my age

("oooo", giggling)

For now, look it up in the
school news archive.

The news what, Professor?

Ah, Paquito, tell me the answers
to the questions your dad wrote

only what I'm missing.
It's just for a second

I was one year old in '63
It's not like I'm a genius

My house only has a grammar book,
I doubt it'll be there

If you want, I can help you do it
it's super easy

Right, "super easy", but if Verito
asked, you'd give her all of them, right?

We've already realized that

She wants me to help her, not do all
the homework. It's different

Right... it's different.
Don't get all red.

Should we go to the kiosk?

Remember that my mom didn't even have time
to make rice, so we don't have lunch.

Did she give you cash?

Some...

No. no, no, no, no, no.

Don't look at me like that, because
I promised I'd bring her the change.

My mom told you that she didn't
have change, and gave you a 50

so whatever is left is for me
because I'm the oldest

Give it to me because...
No, no, no!

(Bickering)

It's been decided. This weekend, I'm
telling Vero I like her

You're going to lose.
She's going to throw rice at you.

Now way! She's asked me for help.
It's a sign!

I heard some super cool salsa, by this
dude from Panama, Rubén Bláez

That's so trashy. Come on,
that's music for delinquents.

On the other hand, I think salsa is
so great, and I love Hector Lavoe.
