Guarango

At the height of the Peruvian gold rush, Nélida, an Andean woman able to communicate with water spirits, uses her powers to prevent a mining corporation from destroying the body of water she considers her mother. A gold deposit valued at billions of dollars lies just beneath Nélida’s lakes and leads farmers and Latin America’s biggest gold producer into conflict.

At night, a mother, a father, and two children converse and dream about ways to free themselves from the trapiche, a machine and a tool of work that seems to come to life during their daily routines.
