Bolivian director Alejandro Loayza Grisi’s debut film invites us to the arid South American semi-desert to visit an ageing Quechua couple whose lifestyle is changing unstoppably due to climate change. But an unusually long drought confronts Virginio and Sisa with a dilemma that is difficult to solve. What if their entire way of life is coming to an inevitable end? What if there is no future for them in the parched landscape? In those days, their grandson Clever comes to the small homestead on the plains and offers them refuge in the city. A family reunion awaits him that will profoundly affect his life.
