A production that describes the conflicts brought about by the exploitation of natural resources in a Tacana community. A film made from the Bolivian indigenous communication process.
This feature film has a fictional plot that’s nevertheless based on a real event: the disappearance in 2006 of a group of children from a Tacana community. The Tacana believe that Nixhixh, which means spirit of the mountain, took the children in revenge when the harmony between humans and nature was broken due to the arrival of logging companies in the community.
