Tattoos in Memory (Spanish: Tatuajes en la memoria) is a 2024 Peruvian drama film directed by Luis Llosa from a screenplay written by Mario Vargas Llosa,[1] based on the autobiographical book Memorias de un soldado desconocido by Lurgio Gavilán Sánchez.[2] It is about a former terrorist and soldier seeking redemption by becoming a Franciscan priest.[3] It premiered on August 29, 2024, in Peruvian theaters.[4]
A boy from Ayacucho is orphaned and, following his older brother, joins the Shining Path, where he trains in violence. Captured by the army, he finds a second chance as a soldier. Tormented by blood, he seeks one last hope by becoming a Franciscan priest and then a prominent anthropologist.[5]
