Jauja
Lisandro Alonso · 2014
Synopsis
In antiquity, Jauja was whispered to be a mythical realm of boundless plenty and absolute bliss. Countless expeditions set forth to locate this paradise and prove its existence, fueling a legend that swelled far beyond truth—overblown by human hyperbole, as it always is. Only one certainty remains: every soul that ventured out to find this heaven on Earth was consumed by the unknown.
