‘Piedra Sola’ is inspired by the Andean Cosmovision, where the past is thought to be ahead and the future behind. The film portrays a small community living in the altitudes of the Argentinian Puna, whose livelihoods are still governed by their sacred union with Pachamama. Piedra Sola is an honouring of these people as keepers of vital knowledge both in the local and universal context. The film, as an alchemical journey between time and dimension follows the mystical journey of a native llama herder and his encounters with his ancestors and the changing form of the puma.
