Along a river in the Peruvian jungle, Meshia, a Matsigenka teenager, finds young, unconscious Ivรกn, two years after he has vanished. She takes him to a hospital in the city of Quillabamba where he receives urgently needed eye surgery and is reunited with his family. They invite Meshia to stay with them and she takes a job at their bar. Soon, she enters a dark rabbit hole involving a beauty pageant and predatory men, while Ivรกn sets himself apart by refusing to speak.
Tinged with autobiographical touches, Punku is the story of unlikely friendship between Ivรกn and Meshia, who find commonality as outsiders.
Having premiered at the 75th Berlinale, through Punku, J.D. Fernรกndez Molero unnervingly explores being young in contemporary Peru, with its jumble of late-stage capitalism, traditional culture, and strongly defined gender roles.
