What Is Paper Dove About?

The premise of Paper Dove without spoilers.

After receiving amnesty, Juan leaves a Lima prison and rides a bus home, recalling his childhood in a remote village near Huaraz. His father is dead, and his mother lives with Fermin, a secret sympathizer of Communist guerrillas.

As they plan a retaliatory raid, Juan must decide where his loyalties lie.
