"Director Alejandro Loayza Grisi presents the story of a Quechuan couple who are faced with the dilemma of changing their familiar lives or facing extinction. Virginio and Sisa have spent years living the same daily life in the Bolivian highlands; he herding llamas and she maintaining their home. But an unusually long drought leaves them searching for relief while resisting it when it is offered by their grandson Clever. Their decision is a choice between stubbornly clinging to what they've always known or embracing change and an unfamiliar future. " ~ Steven Yoder
