★★★★“Song Without A Name is a true original, at once rooted in a raw emotional reality but told with the striking beauty of a dream. Writer-director Melina León is definitely one to watch.” Ian Freer, Empire

Peru, 1988. The country is in the grip of a devastating political crisis. Georgina, a young woman from the Andes, has her newborn daughter stolen after giving birth at a fake health clinic. The desperate search for her baby leads her to Pedro, a young and tenacious investigative journalist who will stop at nothing to get to the truth.

This debut film by Peruvian director Melina León premiered at the Director's Fortnight strand of the Cannes Film Festival in 2019. It was inspired by a true account of child trafficking originally reported by Ismael León, her father.
