Where is this taking place anyway?


To me about the only thing that intrigued me about this movie was where in the hell are they anyway? Was it ever revealed? If so, I dozed through that bit of info.

For starters, since they’re using the southern cross for navigation, they have to be in the southern hemisphere, but none of them have any accents one would associate with any of the more likely countries such as Australia or New Zealand or even South Africa.

So where are they?

Minnesota

The southern cross isn’t visible in Minnesota - it’s not visible in most of the northern hemisphere.

Plot hole?

The story it is based on took place in a Mennonite colony in Bolivia. But the location in the movie is purposely vague - it could be anywhere.

The southern cross is visible in Bolivia.
