An elderly Quechuan Indian couple live with their herd of llamas in the Bolivian highlands. But drought threatens their peaceful existence, forcing them to face the inevitable: do they continue living in an increasingly hostile landscape, or leave for the city and cut their ties to the land and their indigenous neighbors? In his Sundance-winning debut, director Alejandro Loayza Grisi applies his experience as a cinematographer to distill the film’s setting – the arid, sparsely settled Andean plateau – into captivating images. He also shows himself as a skilled storyteller, capable of imbuing a spare drama from a forgotten corner of the world with a universal sense of humanity, seamlessly incorporating mythological elements and, without preaching, presenting a statement on the creeping impact of climate change.
