A multiple murder involves peasants and Paraguayan government forces. Suddenly, a peasant testifies against his own side. He is an unnamed secret witness. Perla Álvarez sets out to look for him. However, this person becomes elusive and new questions arise in the process. Curiosity turns into an investigation and Perla wants to know who is behind the massacre. Far from finding any answers, she becomes trapped in the incongruities of the legal system, while the witness becomes a myth. Perla calls off the search with more doubts than when she started out, and while looking out on the extensive soybean fields she awaits for better times to come.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
