Where to Watch
Overview
A well-to-do woman travels to New Guinea seeking rare feathers and artifacts for export, but ends up joining a small band of European wanderers chasing a remote valley marked “obscured by clouds.” As the trek deepens into jungle and mountain country, their idealism, relationships, and encounters with an isolated tribe test their beliefs about freedom, desire, and “paradise.”

Will You Like This?
You may enjoy this if you like dreamy, slow-burn travel odysseys mixing adventure with culture-clash and hippie-era searching; Not for you if you want a tight plot, lots of action, or constant Pink Floyd music like in Road to Salina.
