To Oriente (2021)

Ecuador - Argentina / 100 min / Color / 2:39 / 5.1

Atahualpa works on the construction of a road to the Oriente. In the area there is a rumor of a treasure hidden at the beginning of the colony. One afternoon, after Rocío, his girlfriend, has left the city, Atahualpa feels a provocation, a distant rumor that takes him back a hundred years.
