Eureka

Like a delightful puzzle with David Lynch undertones, the eagerly awaited new film by Lisandro Alonso (Jauja) transports us through different times and spaces, between North and South America, through dreams, realities and pastiches of cinema to question our very relationship to the world that surrounds us.

In South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation, Alaina is tired of being a police officer and stops answering to her radio set. Her niece Sadie spends a long night waiting for her, to no avail. She then decides to begin her journey with the help of her grandfather: she will fly to South America through other dimensions and will stop watching old black and white westerns that do not represent her in any way. Everything feels different as she starts to hear the dreams of the natives, those who live in the forest. But there will be no definitive conclusions… Birds don’t talk to humans, yet if only we could understand them, they would surely have a few truths to tell us…
