Ni con Dios ni con El Diablo(1990)

Ni con Dios ni con El Diablo is a Peruvian drama following Jeremías, a young shepherd whose life unravels after a shaman's dark prophecy. When a Shining Path unit massacres local authorities and conscripts him into their ranks, Jeremías refuses and flees to Lima. Desperate to find his godfather, he drifts between low-wage jobs while evading police pursuit. The capital becomes a labyrinth of danger and desperation, each setback confirming the shaman's curse. Set against Peru's turbulent political violence of the 1980s, the film traces Jeremías's descent from rural innocence into urban survival, caught between warring forces and a fate he cannot escape. His journey reveals how ordinary people endure when trapped between opposing powers and their own impossible choices.
