Synopsis

Lucía Puenzo wrote, directed, and produced this 2013 adaptation of her own 2011 novel Wakolda. Set in 1960, the story is about Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele exiled in remote Argentinia, where he meets a German-speaking family who own a run-down Patagonian hotel. He moves in and takes a special interest in their daughter Lilith. Nominated for the Un Certain Regard award at the Cannes Film Festival. "A solidly made, well-acted drama that presents a facet of World War II and its aftermath we don’t often get to see on film." (Christy Lemire, Rogerebert.com) Lucía Puenzo--Argentina/Spain/Norway/France--2013--94 mins.
