A sparse country, thin air, raw climate – this is the homeland of the nine-year old Christobal and his father. The two live high up in the Peruvian Andes and they belong to the Q’eros people. Until today, these successors of the Inka have been living in their remote mountain villages without electricity or telephone, they wash their laundry in the river. Their most important source of income is the wool from the alpacas. As it is tradition, Christobal will overtake the godparenthood for a new born alpaca, in order to protect it in its first months of life.
