The Gift of Pachamama - San Francisco Latino Film Festival
El Regalo de la Pachamama
BOLIVIA / JAPAN 2008
Directed by Toshifumi Matsushita
In the Salar de Uyuni, there is a 13 year-old boy, Kunturi, who lives a life much like any other boy in his village. But when his grandmother dies and his best friend moves away, he decides to embark on a trip with the llama caravan. For three months, he travels throughout the Ruta de la Sal, exchanging salt for other Andes products, reluctantly bearing witness to an animal sacrifice in the snow-covered peaks and interacting with the indigenous cultures seemingly untouched by modernity. But when the caravan arrives at its destination, the town of Macha where the Tinku Festival is taking place, Kunturis life will be changed forever. There he finds the most beautiful girl he could have ever imagined, Ulala. Kunturi and Ulala share the same dream: to run together across the immense white sea that is the Salar de Uyuni, until they reach the end of the horizon.
