Synopsis
At 26 years of age, Yaid Bolaños is an indigenous Nasa anthropologist and language workshop leader. He seeks to experimentally narrate the importance of preserving his native language, the Nasa Yuwe, in a complicated social context of the city, where, as a migrant, his customs and practices are endangered by the culture shock of surviving in an increasingly modern and globalised world. However, in this short documentary film, he states that the Nasa Yuwe, being the bearer of knowledge, values and identity, determines the roots and culture of thinking from the heart.
