SYNOPSIS

During a violent coup in 1948, Peru’s First Lady must drive her maid and wounded chauffeur to the hospital down a deadly road in the Andes.

Set in the Peruvian Andes in 1948, BLANCA is an English language, action-adventure drama written by director Carlos Graña. Inspired by real people and historical events, it is about the day Peru’s First Lady drove her maid (Blanca) and wounded chauffeur down a death-defying, steep mountain trail to a hospital—while hunted by soldiers during a military coup.

The edge-of-your-seat adventure thrusts two women from opposing extremes of society into a partnership for their own survival along a cliff ledge.

As the pair confront a mountain terrain, brutal weather, a murderous army, and a magnificent car neither can drive, they must overcome fear, prejudice, and bad blood for even a remote chance to reach the end of the road…

Excerpts:

• ‘Blanca’ is an ingenious high-octane drama... a ‘contained’ thriller – a much-prized paradigm in Hollywood, involving well-scripted scenarios with minimal locations, limited cast members, [and] intense drama…

• ‘Blanca’ has great visual potential and should prove an attractive acting vehicle.

• An impressive piece of writing, an authentic-feeling story that defies expectations. It is an imaginative thriller, an emotional family story [that] would make a thrilling film.
