Abraham Bojórquez (Ukamau y Ké) developed the so-called hip hop Aymara, with his social lyrics he shook the Latin American society in the early 21st century. He died violently at the peak of his musical career, the same day he finished recording his second album. Years later, his friend, Ecuadorian rapper and director Andrés Ramírez, returns to Bolivia to uncover the reasons for his death and to find him in the Andean cyclical time. In this surreal journey Ukamau y Ké comes back to life through records, files, and dream visions.
