Requecho 2009

Directed by Humberto Saco

The Uros, the people who have lived for thousands of years floating on the icy waters of Lake Titicaca, have become divided. Those who make a living from tourism have moved closer to the shore and want to adapt to the world that visits them and provides them with food. Those who remain on the other side do not want contact with outsiders and insist on surviving according to their ancestral customs. Such is the case of María, who preserves the memories of her people and much of their centuries-old wisdom, while refusing to live in the tourist area.
