About
A stranger arrives in the country from a distant galaxy. He lands somewhere in the Andes near the small town of Paucartambo in Cusco.

When the stranger enters into contact with the village people he gradually regains his human condition. He finds love and sex with a prostitute, who is waiting for miracle, he finds a strange mixture of goodness and greed in the village mayor and his family and with the indigenous poet and shaman he grows closer to the bounty, beauty and unfathomable mystery of nature.
