Punku is a 2025 supernatural mystery drama film written, produced, edited and directed by J. D. Fernández Molero. A co-production between Peru and Spain, the film follows a boy who had mysteriously disappeared, but is found injured by a Machiguenga teenager in the jungle.
Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, Meshia, an indigenous Machiguenga teenager, discovers Iván, a boy who disappeared two years ago and was presumed dead. Determined to save him, she embarks on a journey upriver into the mountains, heading for the village of Quillabamba. Despite Iván's silence, a strange bond grows between them. But when a stranger with sinister intentions emerges, their inner worldsâÂÂand their fragile connectionâÂÂare put at risk.
The film took eight years to complete: four years of filming in Quillabamba, Cusco, and the rest in post-production.
Punku had its world premiere on February 15, 2025, in the Forum section at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, then screened on April 2, 2025, at the 64th Cartagena Film Festival and July 19, 2025 at 25th New Horizons Film Festival in Wrocà Âaw.
