Synopsis
Alaina is tired of being a police officer in the Pine Ridge Reservation, and decides to stop answering her radio. Her niece Sadie spends a long night waiting for her, to no avail. Hurt, she decides to begin her journey with the help of her grandfather: she will fly through time and space to South America, finally she will stop watching old black and white westerns that do not represent her in any way, and everything will feel different when she hears the dreams of other people, those who live in the forest. But there will be no definitive conclusions… Birds don’t talk to humans, yet if only we could understand them, they would surely have a few truths to tell us.

Director's statement
With "Eureka", I wanted to embark on a journey across time, geography, and memory. The film moves from the American West to the Amazon, shifting perspectives and languages, because I was interested in how history reverberates beyond borders. Rather than telling a linear story, I chose fragments and echoes, allowing the viewer to drift between realities. The film ultimately proposes that colonial violence is not confined to the past—it lingers in landscapes, in silence, in forgotten faces. Through slowness and contemplation, I hoped to create a space where cinema listens, where ancestral presence and contemporary struggle coexist in the same breath.
