Comedia del taller Garland1927

---

Guillermo Garland filmed this comedy using his family as actors, as a bit of fun. Narrating the struggles of a young man from Lima to establish a family and gain wealth, Garland manages to articulate, on several levels, the city/countryside dichotomy, a dominant theme in Peruvian and Latin American cinema during those final years of the silent era. The film remained in the family home until, almost miraculously, while searching for possible fragments of the film, Mr. Héctor Garland—the director's grandson—found the second reel and two other negatives of a still-unidentified documentary. The film was preserved in 2003-2004.
