秘鲁独立电影人团体Grupo Chaski的第二部也是最后一部长片作品，同样也是他们最知名的作品，深刻揭示八十年代末秘鲁社会的儿童犯罪问题，获89年柏林影展国际儿童UNICEF奖，意大利都林国际青年电影节观众评选最佳影片。Grupo Chaski的作品都是非常优秀的现实主义影片，很容易让人想起八十年代那些经典的伊朗儿童电影佳作。 Juliana tells the story of a little girl who dresses like a boy to join a gang that her brother is in. The story shows the reality of young kids that join gangs. This is a heartwarming, wonderful film about a 13 year-old girl named Juliana, who lives in poverty in Peru. Frustrated by her family, she pretends to be a boy and joins a group of young boys who perform music on the street for money. The group is led by Don Pedro, a man who exploits them for their own profit. Though the film's story is heartbreaking, it is presented as a funny, touching narrative of one girl trying to find herself and help save her friends from the man, and the world, that keeps them down. Similar to "My Life As A Dog," and just as good, if not better.
