A meditative, deeply intimate portrait of an elderly Quechua couple confronting mortality, environmental collapse, and the weight of time itself in their ancestral homeland.

In the Bolivian altiplano, Virginio and Sisa, an elderly Quechua couple who have lived a quiet life for years, face an impossible dilemma during an unusually long drought: resist or be defeated by the hostile environment and the relentless passage of time.
