Synopsis

An elderly Aymara man, rejected by his community after the lynching of his son accused of theft, faces a sentence of loneliness and marginalization. As he struggles to reintegrate and challenge local beliefs that his son is destined to wander forever, he discovers that the true punishment is the rejection he suffers from his own people.
