Wakolda

Main Ideas

• An exploration of the theme of obsession with perfection and the destructive power of ideals, as the pursuit of 'pure' beauty becomes a dangerous fixation capable of ruining lives.
• An immersion into the atmosphere of postwar Argentina, where the shadows of the past and the crimes of Nazism seep into everyday life, exposing the fragility of trust and the vulnerability of the human soul.
• A depiction of the clash between innocence and evil through a child's perspective, where trust and curiosity become the gateway for something alien and frightening to intrude.
• A meditation on the nature of evil, its disguises, and its ability to infiltrate the most ordinary and peaceful corners of the world, masquerading as care and scientific progress.
• A subtle exploration of family relationships, where love and fear, care and anxiety intertwine in a complex dance, and external threats become catalysts for internal change.
