The disastrous effects of climate change on indigenous people, shot and told in a breathtaking manner.

An aging man walks towards the sun, rising gold above the mountains. The man is Virginio, whose skin is as cracked as the earth beneath his feet. Virginio spends his days roaming around a scorched plain in Boliva's Andes mountains, finding places for his lamas to eat. he and his wife Sisa live without running water and electricity. While Virginio walks the lamas, its Sisa's job to find water. The problem, however, is that is has stopped raining and there is no more snow on the mountain tops. The village well has dried up. 'Time has become tired' is Virginio's friend's explanation but we know better than that: climate change is making their lives unbearable.
