Synopsis:

The highest peaks of the mountains rage rise above the clouds. Sometimes they seem to merge with the sky. There is no god and neither there is devil. We are in the heights of the Peruvian Andes, more than 5000 meters above sea level. Celestino is a peasant hermit (51) accompanied by his ramshackle family, formed by his daughter Yaquelin (17) and his mother-in-law Mama Agustina (85). They survive the inclemency of time and height.
