Plot
In the breathtaking climes of the high Andes of Peru, a tale of tragedy and resilience unfolds. Grace, a war photographer shattered by a violent episode in Iraq, surrenders her camera and the haunting images it captures. Her husband, Max, a Belgian cataract surgeon, labors in an eye clinic nestled amidst the snow-capped peaks and vibrant culture of the Andes. But their world shatters as the neighboring villagers of Turubamba fall victim to a silent killer — a mercury leak from a local mine that leaves a trail of sickness and death.
Saturnina, a resilient woman from Turubamba, endures the unbearable loss of her fiancé to this invisible menace. Misdirected anger and desperation ignite a deadly riot against the foreign doctors, claiming Max's life in its feral grasp. As Grace embarks on a poignant journey in the wake of her husband's demise, Saturnina channels her grief into a powerful stand against the ceaseless infringements on her land and her people.
Their paths intertwine in a poignant dance of sorrow and defiance, painting a vivid picture of a world divided yet inescapably interwoven. Altiplano is a compelling exploration of humanity's shared destiny, a lyrical symphony of love, loss, and the indomitable spirit of survival.
