    • Synopsis
    • Rosario, known as Charo, a Bolivian immigrant in Buenos Aires, forged a new life in that city but feels strongly attached to her roots, to her culture. Together with
      her husband, Carlos Condorí, they set up a small textile workshop in the Padre Mujica neighborhood, with which they earn a living. Both visit a traditional parade of
      Bolivian culture in Argentina, on October 12, which evokes the Oruro carnival. Rosario plans to visit her homeland soon. Meanwhile, Alejandra Barriga, a young woman
      from Oruro, arrives in Buenos Aires to see her family, while in La Paz the fate of President Evo Morales is uncertain.

      In Oruro, Jaime Flores Felipes and Guillermo Willy Flores Orozco, connoisseurs of carnival culture, work every day to recover and bring that history to life. Rolando
      Barrientos, president of the Central Oruro Morenada Fraternity, immerses himself in the ancient tradition and rescues the pagan and emancipatory origin of carnival:
      the blacks, the mines, the silver, Christianity as the great oppressor of the cosmogony of the Andean people, and the Oruro Carnival as a living and changing tradition
      of devotion to the Virgen del Socavón. Also from the brotherhood of the Cocanis, originally linked to the commercialization of the sacred coca leaf. The carnival of Oruro,
      these connoisseurs say, begins with the promise to the Virgin of presence and dance in the carnival, as a form of offering. The different moments of the carnival, which
      take place from November to February of each year (first treat, first evening, last treat, the Andean anata, the morenada, pilgrimage Saturday, carnival Sunday, and the
      day of the devil and el moreno) make up a rite where party and devotion are mixed, in a massive social event, which unites generations and today summons the entire social
      arc of Oruro. In 2001 the Oruro carnival was named Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
