Abstract

Telupaï is a ten-year-old boy who lives in a town in the Andes mountains and wants to become a shaman. To this end, he and his friend Naïra embark on a journey through unexplored lands of stalking risks. They go in search of a lost totem that is of great ceremonial value to their people. Pachamama is that totem that protects them and has been confiscated by the Incas. This search takes the protagonists towards Cuzco, the capital of the empire, besieged by the conquerors, so that the conquest of the Incas and that of the Spaniards are juxtaposed there. To know more we must wait until June, when Pachamama premieres, the animated film by Argentine director Juan Antin. The film was presented in Paris in December 2018 and is nominated for the César Awards of French cinema as the best animated film. Netflix has acquired the rights of its distribution so a global audience is sponsored.
