    • Synopsis
    • Luzmila Carpio takes us to her native Bolivia, into contact
      with her origins, the community where she comes from, the
      Andean landscapes where her eyes grew up.
      Luzmila sings with the birds, she speaks to them and listens
      to them; she speaks with her land, with the rivers, she sings
      to the sun and the moon. Her songs speak about identity,
      the struggles of her people, spirituality, respect for the
      environment, the need to strive for a more just future in
      harmony on our planet.
      A journey with Luzmila to the depths of her land, to her
      memories, her struggles, into the heart of her country,
      connecting her with a language that is global, young and
      always questioning.
