Synopsis

“We, young Mapuche of Ayja Rewe Budi, are traveling the territory from north to south, meeting on our way with the papay and chachay who transmit to us their knowledge of Mapuche life threatened by the Coastal Highway project. As we listen, as we travel, as we sing, we are alive. We are the future.”
