Liliana, a young Indigenous woman and the protagonist of this documentary filmed in the Colombian Andes, serves as a bridge between the memory of the past and a reflection on the future of her land. The filmmaker met her while exploring the history and recollections of the Indigenous people of the Nudo de los Pastos region and gave her a voice to share the elders’ memories, to reflect on the transformation of these mountains, and on the pollution that now endangers them. Interviewed against the breathtaking backdrop of the Andes, Liliana recalls the story of a wise man, Juan Chiles, who once roamed the mountains to fully understand them, and who, according to legend, immersed himself in the sacred lagoons, transforming into a tiger, a deer, and a bull. The old sage urged everyone to learn how to become “water, stone, and foam.” Liliana perpetuates his voice, which symbolically becomes the voice of all the Indigenous people who live there and of their ongoing resistance to preserve their bond with the land.
