Deep in the Peruvian Amazon lowlands, Meshia, a Matsigenka Indigenous teenager, discovers Ivan, a young boy who vanished two years ago and was presumed dead. Determined to save him, she embarks on a journey upriver into the mountains, heading to the city of Quillabamba.
As a withdrawn Ivan struggles with the trauma of his mysterious past and haunting dreams, Meshia becomes mesmerized by the city's allure. Despite Ivan's silence, an uncanny bond grows between them. But when a stranger with sinister intentions emerges, their inner worlds - and their fragile connection - are put at risk.
Shot on a mix of 16mm, Super 8, and digital formats, Punku - meaning 'gateway' in Quechua - is a hybrid fiction film that blurs the boundaries between the seen and unseen, offering a portal into overlapping realities and dimensions.?
