Who is Paul Barrantes? Well, at first, a vanished researcher who persuaded an Indian tribe in northern Argentina to document its own culture on video - a tribe that is threatened with extinction. But what does all of this mean? "Andinia 9°2" confuses the viewer with tantalizing hints. It seems to be a serious documentary - but then again, perhaps it's nothing other than a subtle critique of documentaries or ethnographic films or "give-the-people-a-camera" films or even the media in general. Is ",Andinia 9°2" fiction? Document? A perverse joke?
