The Gift of Pachamama

Tuesday 29th September 2009

Dir. Toshifumi Matsushita

Set in Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, home of the world’s largest salt lake, this anthropological drama centres on a small family of indigenous Andean people who harvest and deliver natural salt to neighbouring towns by means of traditional llama caravans.

When Kunturi’s grandmother falls sick, the young boy must join his father in the 3-month journey across southwestern Bolivia to deliver the produce; and as the pair passes through each town with their flock of llamas in tow, Kunturi progressively learns about love, life and death along the way.

With references to the transition between traditionalism and modernity, the film offers insight into how these indigenous people live, whose culture is still strongly linked to traditional ideologies and customs.
