In 1970 after their Buenos Aires wedding, Ron and Jacqueline went on a journey to the Andes with backpacks and still cameras. Crossing Bolivia, on their way to Cuzco, they discovered the city of Potosi. 29 years later they return to the same places, this time with their three daughters. This is a journey into the city of Potosi as well as the story of this family. Potosi was once one of the largest and richest cities in the world, symbolizing the wealth to which western culture aspired. For the millions of indigenous people who were forced to work in the depths of the mountain, Potosi was the gate to Hell. After its silver mines were drained, Potosi was left poor and forgotten. Static and silent black and white reconstructed images of the voyage of 1970 are juxtaposed with the color footage from 1999. In the transition from black and white to color and from silence to a rich and full sound dimension, the director’s worldview changes.
