In Peru, each year in the month of June, thousands of people come together at the pilgrimage site of the Lord of Qoyllur Rit’I, 4700 meters up in the mountains. Here, they dance to the Lord, the mountains and the Sun in order to beseech forgiveness for their sins, but also to ask for material objects. The film follows one of the dancers, Laura, who makes the pilgrimage for the first time. It shows the significance of making this dangerous and physically demanding pilgrimage and the sacrifices the pilgrims make to fulfil their dreams.
