When our normal daily life vanishes all out of the sudden against our will because of something falling from sky, or because of a moving plane in the sky. The spirit of that life we had reincarnates in little small details we used to live everyday, and got very used till we took it for granted. These little details become more than a scent of something we had in our past, and a picture wouldn’t only present a moment we captured in time, it recreates that time for us, it becomes alive again, present and constant.

At the height of the Peruvian gold rush, Nelida, an Andean woman
able to communicate with water spirits, uses her powers to prevent a
mining corporation from destroying the body of water she considers her
mother.
A gold deposit valued at billions of dollars lies just beneath
Nelida’s lakes and leads farmers and Latin America’s biggest gold
producer into conflict.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
