LA OROYA: NEW ROMANTIC

A mining town refuses to disappear. An interprovincial driver, a new wave fanatic, travels along the highway. Two mining workers explore the ground in the search of a promised prize. A mythical musician returns to record an album. At night, new wave music resounds in the pubs of La Oroya.
