Series: Portland Latin American Film Festival

In the arid Bolivian highlands, an elderly Quechua couple has been living the same daily routine for years. When an uncommonly long drought threatens their entire way of life, Virginio and Sisa face the dilemma of resisting or being defeated. Things change, however, with the arrival of their grandson Clever, who comes to visit with news. The three of them will face, each in their own way, the environment, the necessity for change, and the meaning of life itself, in this astonishing feature debut by Alejandro Loayza Grisi.
