Bruce Chatwin's landmark book dramatized by Sebastian Baczkiewicz.

Russell Tovey stars as a writer on a quest to the very end of the world in search of mythical beasts. Based on Chatwin's picaresque travelogue, an adventure to find a treasured family heirloom, a lost piece of brontosaurus, turns in to something all together more fantastical yet deeply human.

In Patagonia has been described as "probably the most influential travel book written since the war", some argue exactly because it is not a travel book at all. Fifty years after he set out on his "Wonder Voyage", the writer, whose life was cut tragically short, has himself been much mythologised. His enduring literary snapshots of barren yet brimming landscape - from an enchanting pianist adopted by a Welsh-speaking community, to a prophetic Argentinian priest and tall tales of Butch Cassidy - have inspired this powerful drama which reflects on what it means to be exiled from a past which may never have existed.
