The series tells three different stories that reflect how Peruvians experience quarantine and social isolation, turning this reality into a narrative tool to provide moments of humor and complete sincerity. This is how we have Los Escudero, a very particular family that will begin to reveal various secrets while the father, Papo Escudero, suffers from paralysis. In addition, La Comunidad will show the story of Rafael, a not-so-spiritual guru who founded a community alongside his assistant. In Asturias Import, is portrayed a company that, as a result of the pandemic, left everyone without a job, but that now –with the union of the employees– carries out a new venture.
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.
