Based on the true story of Israeli backpacker, Yossi Ghinsberg (played by Daniel Radcliff), who, in 1981, meets a cryptic Austrian geologist in La Paz, Bolivia, and captivated by his engrossing stories of lost tribes, uncharted adventures and even gold, decides to follow him. With his two good friends, Yossi joins an expedition led by their seasoned trail-leader, deep into impenetrable Amazonian rainforest. However, as the jungle separates the inexperienced team, before long, Yossi will find himself stranded in the depths of a nightmarish environment crawling with adversaries. 115 minutes.
