In a remote Bolivian mining camp 4,897 metres above sea level, single mother Emiliana struggles to survive.

synopsis

Emiliana is a single mother trying to survive in a remote Bolivian mining camp 4,897 metres above sea level. She lives with her children in the middle of the paradise-like mountains of Mina Argentina. But appearances are deceptive: life in the camp is fierce and alcohol-driven. Those who find tin eat; those who don't, don't...
Emiliana est une mère célibataire qui essaie de survivre dans un camp minier bolivien à une hauteur de 4897 mètres. Elle y vit avec ses enfants, au milieu des montagnes paradisiaques autour de Mina Argentina. Mais les apparences sont trompeuses: la vie dans le camp est féroce. Seuls ceux qui trouvent de l’étain de premier choix auront de quoi manger. S’ajoute une consommation excessive d’alcool, qui fait qu’Emiliana doit constamment se méfier des dangers qui pourraient heurter sa famille.
Emiliana is een alleenstaande moeder die probeert te overleven in een afgelegen Boliviaans mijnkamp op 4897 meter boven de zeespiegel. Ze woont er met haar kroost te midden van het paradijselijke berglandschap rond Mina Argentina. Maar schijn bedriegt: het leven in het kamp is bikkelhard. Wie tin bovenhaalt geraakt aan eten, wie er geen vindt niet. Door het buitensporige alcoholgebruik is Emiliana bovendien constant op haar hoede voor de gevaren die haar gezin omringen.
