With the second World War looming and having lost everything before, Maria Reiche flees Germany and ends up in Peru. There, she tries to fit in an inhibited society for the sake of her lover Amy. But she only starts to find her true calling in life when she takes a trip to the desert of Nazca and stumbles upon mysterious Lines, drawn in the soil. Against all odds, against everyone, Maria ties her destiny to the Nazca lines, and takes on the mission to find their meaning. A journey that will throw her into tremendous trouble and danger - but also give her a sense of peace, at last, as she finally finds where she belongs, sweeping the desert.

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
