    • Synopsis
    • 16th-Century Peru is ruled over by the Inca empire.
      Its citizens are a superstitious people. They make
      offerings to Pachamama, the Earth Mother, and her
      gods in order to thank them for abundant crops and
      good weather. A visit from the greedy Inca tax collectors
      and the subsequent invasion by Spanish troops provides a compelling backdrop for this exciting animated adventure story, which focuses on fun-loving 10-year-old Tepulpai, who sets off to rescue the village’s precious golden statue from the Inca palace. With his friend,Naira and their llama companion, a David versus
      Goliath battle ensues. From Didier Brunner’s (Ernest
      and Celestine) new animation studio Folivari comes a
      well-researched, captivating and fun animated film that is geared towards the under-10s but has plenty to appeal to older audiences.
