Wakolda

En el verano de 1960, en la desolada región de la Patagonia, un médico alemán (Alex Brendemühl) conoce a una familia argentina y se une a ellos para seguir la ruta del desierto en caravana. La familia hace renacer en él todas sus obsesiones por la pureza y la perfección. En especial Lilith, una niña casi adolescente con un cuerpo demasiado pequeño para su edad. La fascinación es mutua; en pleno despertar sexual, Lilith siente una inquietante atracción por el forastero. Sin conocer la verdadera identidad del alemán, al llegar a Bariloche, Enzo (Diego Peretti) y Eva (Natalia Oreiro) lo aceptan como primer huésped de su hostería, a orillas del lago Nahuel Huapi. Aunque el extraño personaje despierta en los anfitriones cierto recelo, poco a poco se verán seducidos por sus modales, su distinción, su saber científico y su dinero.

The German Doctor (Wakolda)

The true story of an Argentine family who lived with Josef Mengele without knowing his true identity, and of a girl who fell in love with one of the biggest criminals of all time.
