Zama, an officer of the Spanish Crown born in South America, waits for a letter from the King granting him a transfer to a better place. The years go by and the letter from the King never arrives. When Zama notices everything is lost, he joins a party of soldiers that go after a dangerous bandit. “Zama” is the fourth feature film of the Argentinian filmmaker Lucrecia Martel, who has positioned her place in the international film community, as her films have been acclaimed at the most important film festivals: Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Toronto, New York, Sundance and Rotterdam, amongst others. Retrospectives of her work have been widely exhibited in film festivals and prestigious institutions.
