Washington DC Independent Film Festival 2009

In the Salar de Uyuni, where many families work with salt, there is a 13 year-old boy named Kunturi who lives a normal life, much like the others in his village, until suffers when his Grandmother dies and his friend moves away. He decides to go on his first trip with the llama caravan throughout the "rota de la sal", exchanging salt for other goods. Kunturi's life changes for the better when he arrives to the town of Maca for the "tinku" festival. There he finds the most beautiful girl of his dreams, Ulana. They meet and live out their dream "to run together across the white sea" that is the Salar de Uyuni, until they reach the end of the horizon.
