It was also screened in the Masters section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. ... In the late 18th century Don Diego de Zama is a functionary in a remote outpost in Argentina. His wife and children are far away from him and he longs to be assigned to a post in Lerma, a change he believes is imminent.

Uninterested by the gossip, Zama spends his time trying to seduce the wealthy, married, Spanish noblewoman Luciana Piñares de Luenga who rebuffs him. ..."
