SINOPSIS / SYNOPSIS
Deep inside the Argentinian highlands in a small community at an altitude of 4000 ma.s.l, a native llama herder is following the traces of an invisible puma who is killing his livestock.
Through his incessant search, a mystical encounter is revealed between him, his ancestors and the changing form of the puma.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE:
Piedra Sola is a film inspired by the archetypes of the tarot and the Andean Cosmovision, where the past is thought to be ahead and the future behind. Filmed at an altitude of four thousand meters, in a community where the mystical and the mythical still govern their way of life. This film was conceived and inspired by these people; a native llama herder looking for an invisible puma, who during his endless search encounters a man without a name.
