Set against the rich cultural backdrop of 1960s Lima, Mistura tells the compelling story of Norma Piet, a woman in her mid-30s whose life is upended when her husband abruptly abandons her. Left to face the scorn of high society and the burden of personal betrayal, Norma’s world collapses as she grapples with isolation and self-doubt. However, her story takes an unexpected turn when she embarks on a journey of self-discovery through the vibrant and diverse world of Peruvian cuisine. At its core, Mistura is a celebration of Peru’s cultural and culinary richness. It explores themes of identity, resilience and the healing power of food — all while highlighting the vibrant diversity that makes Peru’s cuisine unique. This gastronomic journey serves as a metaphor for embracing life’s flavors, complexities and unexpected turns.
