El príncipe inca

 

Chile/Bolivia, Biographical Documentary, 2016
82 min, Color

A white man is looking for his Indian identity. Guided by old family tales transmitted by his mysterious late grandfather, Chilean artist Felipe Cusicanqui heads off on a journey to Bolivia to rescue ancient family legends linked to the Inca nobility. While in pilgrimage through the Andes mountain range – exploring the landscape, recovering stories from locals, looking at the way they live, farm, herd, weave, and look at the stars – Felipe experiences an adventure out of ordinary time, which finally leads him to connect with the true and hidden story of his grandfather and also guides him towards unexplored creative paths.
