SYNOPSIS
Carla hesitates. She is 37, she is married, possibly pregnant and she is supposed to be happy while she travels towards summer vacation along with her husband and a jet ski hooked to the back of the car. But maybe she doesn’t want to be there. Maybe she prefers to be hitchhiking with a random Norwegian backpacker heading to a beautiful national park where she could walk among big trees and talk about birds and old pop songs with the park ranger. Yes, maybe that would be better.

DIRECTOR' STATEMENT
Born and raised in a big polluted city, I often escape to Nature like most do: in search of some kind of peace and some simple answers for complicated questions. It is never that what I find. Nature is not easy. There’s nothing simple in a waterfall or a spider. But I still keep returning. I keep trusting Nature because I need it. Like I need fiction. Turistas is a movie about that need and that trust. About confused and clumsy city people meeting in a National Park, asking Nature to give them something and getting something else in return.
