Mistura (12A)

2025 Peru

Directed by Ricardo de Montreuil

Set in 1960s Lima, Mistura follows Norma Piet, a woman from high society whose life unravels after her husband’s betrayal pushes her out of elite circles. What follows isn’t just personal reinvention, but a deeper discovery of a country and a culture she never truly saw. The transformation takes shape through her connection with Oscar, a chauffeur and musician, who helps her open a restaurant. From there, Mistura opens up into Perú’s culinary world, showing markets, home kitchens, and street-level spaces that feel vibrant and alive.

With Lima-based and internationally recognised chef Toshi Matsufuji also starring, the film sends us on a sumptuous and beautifully photographed journey of food, music, culture and identity.

Tickets are £6 (£1 child/student) available on the door or in advance from the Buxton Opera House box-office (01298 72190) or online.
