Synopsis

Chaska is a Quechua radio speaker and successful Tiktoker, so when her twin daughters decide to become influencers, she gets it. Meanwhile, grandma Santusa, a shepherd and weaver, tries her luck in the growing Quechua film industry. Quechua is all the rage! An illness in the family and the contradictions of a racist media system get in the way.
