En la Puna

About This Movie

So, 'En la Puna' is this documentary set high up in Jujuy, at 4,000 meters, which is honestly a unique backdrop. It dives into the lives of about 15 families living in scattered adobe ranches. What I find striking is how it captures their daily existence, centered around a few communal buildings like the chapel and school. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the highlands. You really feel the isolation yet the sense of community. The film doesn’t rely on flashy effects, instead, it’s all about the rawness of life there, the struggles, and the resilience of the people. It’s definitely a different kind of viewing experience.

Interesting take on rural life.Great for those who enjoy documentaries.Atmospheric and immersive.
