Alaina Clifford está harta de ser policía en la reserva de Pine Ridge y decide no responder más a su radio. Su sobrina Sadie la espera sin éxito durante una larga noche y, apenada, decide iniciar su viaje con ayuda de su abuelo. Ella vuela hacia Sudamérica, donde todo le resultará diferente cuando perciba los sueños de otras personas que habitan la selva. Sus conclusiones serán inciertas: las aves no hablan con los humanos pero si tan solo pudiéramos entenderlas, tendrían algunas verdades para comunicarnos. En esta película compleja, original, Lisandro Alonso propone un viaje que desafía el espacio-tiempo, entre 1870 y 2019 para descubrir la cultura amerindia, y al mismo tiempo habilitar una desestructuración y reescritura de las narrativas históricamente construidas a costa de los pueblos nativos americanos.
Alaina Clifford is overwhelmed by being a police officer in the Pine Ridge Reservation, so she decides to stop responding to her radio. Her niece Sadie waits for her for a long night, to no avail. Sadie, in pain, decides to initiate her journey with the help of her grandfather. Sadie flies through time and space to South America. She will stop watching old black and white westerns which do not represent her at all, and everything will feel different when she hears the dreams of other people who live in the forest. Her conclusions will be uncertain... Birds don't talk to humans. If only we could understand them, they would for sure have a few truths to tell us.
LISANDRO ALONSO Born in 1975 in Buenos Aires, Lisandro Alonso studied for three years at the Universidad del Cine. After co-directing his first short film Dos En La Vereda in 1995, he worked as an assistant director and sound designer until 2000. His first feature film, La Libertad, which focuses on the relationship between a lonely lumberjack and his environment, premiered at the Cannes Film festival, Un Certain Regard. After creating his own production company 4L, Alonso returned to Cannes in 2004 with Los Muertos, which premiered in the Directors Fortnight. Two years later, he completed his trilogy with Fantasma. In 2008, the director decided to lean toward a more fictional approach with Liverpool, following a young sailor looking for his mother in the lost villages of Tierra del Fuego. Five years later, Jauja, set in 19th century Denmark and Argentina and starring Viggo Mortensen, won the FIPRESCI award in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.
