High in the breathtaking, majestic Andes of Peru, silent but deadly traces of mercury – remnants of long-ago silver mining – bring illness and death to a local village. Seeking retribution, the villagers mistakenly attribute the outbreak to Western doctors who work in the mountains. Two women – the fiancé of a villager killed in the accident and the wife of a doctor murdered in the riot – are brought together in this haunting yet ravishingly beautiful film about our divided yet inextricably intertwined world.

"Its unique combination of visual grandeur and impressive music is reminiscent of Tarkovski and Terrence Malick." - Metro (UK)

 

"Ambitious, visually striking and thought-provoking. Cinematographer Francisco Gozon captures breathtaking images."- Screen Daily
