Directing
In 1901, Argentine naval officer JosĂ© MarĂa Sobral joins Otto Nordenskjöld’s Swedish scientific expedition to Antarctica. After establishing a winter camp on Snow Hill Island, six men are left stranded when the ship meant to retrieve them never returns. Drawing on Sobral’s diary, this documentary reconstructs their two-year struggle for survival and the Argentine rescue mission led by Lieutenant Julián IrĂzar aboard the corvette ARA Uruguay.
