The film opens with these lines, as the camera pans across downtown's Plaza San Martín:
"Lima is the surprise city of South America, for most visitors who gaze upon it for the first time do not expect to find a modern and up-to-date metropolis... . We are impressed by its beautiful buildings and plazas, modern hotels, the very finest cinematheques, and all the ... innovations found in the cosmopolitan cities of the world."I think those words still ring true today.
