BOLIVIA / JAPAN Directed by: Toshifumi Matsushita In the Salar de Uyuni, there is a 13 year-old boy, Kunturi, who lives a life much like any other boy in his village. But when his grandmother dies and his best friend moves away, he decides to embark on a trip with the llama caravan. For three months, he travels throughout the “Ruta de la Sal,” exchanging salt for other Andes products, reluctantly bearing witness to an animal sacrifice in the snow-covered peaks and interacting with the indigenous cultures seemingly untouched by modernity. But when the caravan arrives at its destination, the town of Macha where the “Tinku” Festival is taking place, Kunturi’s life will be changed forever. There he finds the most beautiful girl he could have ever imagined, Ulala. Kunturi and Ulala share the same dream: “to run together across the immense white sea that is the Salar de Uyuni, until they reach the end of the horizon. Cuenta la historia de un niño de 13 años, Kunturi que vive su vida como tantos otros niños de la zona. Pero cuando fallece su abuela y su amigo se va del pueblo, el decide embarcarse en un viaje con la caravana de llamas. Durante tres meses transita a traves de la “Ruta de la Dal” intercambiando sal por los otros productos andinos, siendo reacio testigo de animales sacrificados en los picos nevados e interactuando con las culturas indígenas que parecen no haber sido tocadas por el mundo moderno. El destino de los Llameros de Macha donde se celebra la ceremonia Tinku que impresiona y marca para siempre la vida de Kunturi. Allí conoce a Ulala, la muchacha más hermosa que jamás imagino. Kunturi y Ulala comparten el mismo sueño… correr por el inmenso mar blanco del salar de Uyuni hasta alcanzar el horizonte.
