Synopsis
Wilancha is a short horror film based on an Aymara ritual. A group of miners together with a Yatiri, a priest, perform a Wilancha, an Aymara ritual, for El Tio, a deity of the mine where they work. The miners realise that one of their colleagues is still inside and they go to get him out. After the ceremony the Yatiri realises that the miner has stolen something from the mine and warns him that he should not have done so. Two days later, during a workday, he is punished for his bad deed.
