“OCTUBRE” — Directed by Daniel and Diego Vega. In Spanish with English subtitles. October is the “purple month” in Lima, when the gray city’s somber tones give way to processions celebrating the Lord of Miracles. Tucked away in one of the Lima’s modest flats lives Clemente, a small-time loan shark with a penchant for reckless hookers, grave solitude, money lending, and nothing else. Returning home one day, Clemente quickly realizes that an intruder had visited his home — not to steal from him, but instead to leave him with a little gift. Tucked in a small basket sitting on his bed Clemente finds a newborn baby, the product of one of his frequent liaisons with prostitutes. Not rated. Running time: 1:23
