WAKOLDA
a film by :Lucía Puenzo
Patagonia, 1960. A German physician meets an Argentinean family and follows them on the long desert road to Bariloche where Eva, Enzo and their three children are going to open a lodging house by the Nahuel Huapi lake. This model family reawakens his obsession with purity and perfection, in particular Lilith, a 12 year-old with a body too small for her age. Unaware of his true identity, they accept him as their first guest. They are all gradually won over by this charismatic man, by his elegant manners, his scientific knowledge and his money — until they discover they are living with one of the biggest criminals of all times.
Patagonie, 1960. Un médecin allemand rencontre une famille argentine sur la longue route qui mène à Bariloche où Eva, Enzo et leurs trois enfants s’apprêtent à ouvrir un hôtel au bord du lac Nahuel Huapi. Cette famille modèle ranime son obsession pour la pureté et la perfection, en particulier Lilith, une fillette de 12 ans trop petite pour son âge. Sans connaître sa véritable identité, ils l’acceptent comme leur premier client. Ils sont peu à peu séduits par le charisme de cet homme, l’élégance de ses manières, son savoir et son argent, jusqu’à ce qu’ils comprennent qu’ils vivent avec l’un des plus grands criminels de tous les temps.
