Jauja
Available on Prime Video, MUBI
A remote military outpost in Patagonia, 1882, during the Conquest of the Desert. Captain Gunnar Dinesen (Viggo Mortensen) has come from Denmark with his fifteen-year-old daughter to take an engineering job with the Argentine army. Being the only female in the area, Ingeborg creates quite a stir among the men. She falls in love with a young soldier, and one night they run away together. When he wakes up the Captain realises what has happened and decides to venture into enemy territory to find them. Jauja is the story of a man’s desperate search for his daughter, a solitary quest that takes us to a place beyond time, where the past vanishes and the future has no meaning.
