After 19 years without seeing each other, two former guerrilleros reunite to sign their divorce papers. As they catch up on the lives they have led apart, they revisit their shared romantic and political past, confronting intimate secrets, unresolved wounds, and the convictions that once shaped their lives. Over the course of one afternoon, their reunion becomes an emotional reckoning with who they were, who they have become, and how deeply their country’s history continues to affect them.

Directed by Joel Calero, One Last Afternoon explores the intersection of love, political conviction, memory, and personal responsibility. Through the reunion of two former militants, the film reflects on a generation of Peruvians who came of age during the political turmoil of the 1970s and 1980s, when some saw armed insurgency as a path toward social justice. Their intimate conversation becomes a window into the lasting consequences of Peru’s political violence and the difficulty of reconciling personal ideals with the realities of the past.

One Last Afternoon is the first installment in Calero’s Trilogy of Memory, a three-film project exploring Peru’s internal conflict and political violence and their impact across generations. The trilogy continues with The Most Feared Skin and concludes with Family Album.

“An intriguing exploration of the crushing effects of political engagement on personal lives, years down the line.” — Jonathan Holland, The Hollywood Reporter.

“A brave film carried on by two extraordinary performances.” — Utero.pe.

“One Last Afternoon reflects upon how convictions and affections change with the passing of time. It captures the sentiment of a whole generation, who during the 1970s and ’80s believed that ideals were to be reached by insurgency.” — Saboteur.

“The best of the film lies in the performances of D’Onofrio and Cáceres, perhaps the most talented film actors of their generation in our country.” — Sebastián Pimentel, El Comercio.

“Very good film that, with a little willingness, deserves more than one viewing.” — Juan José Beteta, Cinencuentro.
