Là-bas

Jules Gund’s sparse address book becomes Omar’s treasure map in James Ivory’s pastoral travelogue. A grad student chases three reluctant signatures in Uruguay to unlock a dead writer’s life. The last key lands in the hands of Gund’s brother, ferrying Omar into the ruins of a literary empire before the ink can fade.
