Postales is a multicultural story of innocence and understanding that transcends the barriers of language, poverty and cultural confusion in a rapidly globalizing world. In the streets of Cusco, Peru, the lives of an American businessman and his family become irreversibly intertwined with those of a rural Peruvian family struggling day to day to survive. As the construction of a new hotel is finalized, both families are faced with the realities of our shifting world and the unexpected encounters that will change them forever.
