Logline

An enchanting film about environmental destruction, friendship, and solidarity amid breathtaking scenery.

Eight-year-old Feliciano lives in a small village in the Peruvian Andes. His only friends are his dog, Rambo, and a young alpaca named Ronaldo. Feliciano tells them all about soccer and the Peruvian national team’s World Cup qualifiers. Yet their tranquil life amid idyllic mountain scenery is under threat: the nearby lake is polluted and a mining company is pressuring the villagers to sell their land. When Ronaldo disappears one day, Feliciano desperately goes in search of him. In the meantime, the village community unites in order to take action against the company.

This film is screened in original version with German voice-over.

Recommended for ages 7 and up.
