The Vigil

About This Movie

The Vigil unfolds in the gritty backdrop of modern Lima, where disparate lives collide in a hauntingly tense atmosphere. You’ve got Edgardo Chocano, this upper-class intellectual, whose world is upended by a chance encounter with a lower-class girl, raw and instinctual. The film breathes with a sense of unease, exploring themes of class disparity and human connection under duress. The pacing keeps you on edge, and the performances are visceral – they feel real, almost like you’re peeking into their lives. The practical effects enhance the gritty realism, which is refreshing. It’s not flashy, but there’s a depth here that lingers, making you ponder long after the credits roll.
