Mother Lode plot

Jorge leaves his home and family in the suburbs of Lima to try his luck in the gold mines of the Andes, in search of the promise of the main vein. We follow Jorge on a journey full of omens, where reality and magical thinking merge. He discovers that the myth of wealth is built on sacrifices that become increasingly tangible, while the lines between victims and oppressors become increasingly blurred.
