Ceviche en Pittsburgh

Ceviche en Pittsburgh narrates the story between two brothers: Toño, the youngest one, who lives in USA and studies at a doctoral program in Latin American History; and Carlos, eight years older, who lives in Lima and works at his father’s company. Carlos visits surprisingly his younger brother in Pittsburgh. They cook a weekend ceviche and during that moment the conflict between two different projects of life is expressed: Toño plans to develop his career in USA forgetting his roots; and Carlos prefers to stay in his country.
