Waiting for the Barbarians est un drame historique américano-italien réalisé par Ciro Guerra, sorti en 2019. Il est adapté du roman En attendant les barbares de J. M. Coetzee.

Synopsis

Dans un désert sans nom et un temps incertain, un magistrat britannique gère un fort qui marque la frontière de l'Empire. Le pouvoir central s'inquiète d'une invasion barbare et dépêche sur les lieux le colonel Joll, un tortionnaire de la pire espèce. Parmi les hommes et les femmes ramenés au fort et torturés, une jeune fille blessée attire l'attention du Magistrat qui finit par partir avec elle. Mais, rejeté par le peuple nomade dont elle est originaire, le Magistrat s'en retourne auprès des siens. Accusé de trahison, il va à son tour passer par les mains du bourreau.

En 1968, lors d'une cérémonie du peuple autochtone amérindien Wayuu dans la province de Guajira au nord de la Colombie, la jeune Zaina danse le rituel du passage à la vie de femme, dans la plus pure tradition ancestrale. Rapayet, un jeune homme d'un autre village, séduit par la beauté de Zaina, entre dans la danse pour lui signifier ses prétentions amoureuses. Úrsula, matriarche autoritaire du village, lui met la barre très haut : le prestige de sa tribu fait que la dot demandée pour la main de Zaina sera exorbitante, sous la forme de nombreuses chèvres, vaches et colliers.
