Story

Jauja is a mythical place where happiness and abundance reign. Many expeditions have been sent there, but none has ever returned. Gunnar Dinesen (Viggo Mortensen) is part of a horde of engineers and military on a campaign of extermination against the indigenous population of 19th-century Patagonia. The Dane is accompanied by his 15-year old daughter, who falls in love with a young man and flees. Dinesen is driven half-crazy with worry and sets out to find her on a lonely, hallucinatory journey deep into enemy territory, where time and space seem to blur. Jauja is a directorial masterpiece with fantastic camerawork by Tilo Salminen.

Director

After La libertad (2001, shown at FILMFEST HAMBURG 010 in the retrospective ARGENTINA DELUXE) Jauja is the Argentine's second film to be shown at Cannes in Un Certain Regard.
