A couple of elderlies try to survive in Los Andes of Peru while they wait for their son.

Immersed in the world of uywa ch'uwa, a family gathers to perform the ancient ritual dedicated to the pakucha, the alpaca's soul. Set deep within the breathtaking southern Andes, Pakucha opens to us the Aymara family's celebration and hypnotically guides us through their worldview in Andean culture. The family, surrounded by animals and nature, draws us into their pathway through the universe, where the final destination is the genesis of a new life.

In 1781, the revolutionary amaru-kataristas occupy the highlands of southern Peru. Sapa Inca, the last descendant of the Aymara Incas, and his wife Gregoria, decide to continue the indigenous insurrection against the Spanish oppressors. However, in a tumultuous time, obsession for the libertarian cause, love in times of chaos and betrayal among the brotherhood, will unleash a series of tragedies.
