MOTHER LODE

Director:
Matteo Tortone

Jorge leaves his home and family in the outskirts of Lima to try his luck in the goldmines of the Andes, chasing the promises of the mother lode. We follow Jorge through a journey full of omens, where reality and magical thinking blend together, as he discovers that the myth of wealth is built on sacrifices that become ever more tangible - while the boundaries between victims and oppressors get progressively vague and blurred.
