THE LOST CITY

This documentary is set in Aysén, a region in Chilean Patagonia with barely 90,000 inhabitants. Somewhere in this remote corner of the world, a mysterious city lies hidden. Five hundred years ago, a group of conquistadors built a city of gold. Whoever enters becomes immortal—but loses their memory. It is the Lost City of the Césares.
