Altiplano

Fate will intertwine the lives of two grieving women.

"Altiplano" is a Belgian-Peruvian film that follows the intertwined stories of Grace and Saturnina, two women bound by loss. Set in a small Andean village affected by pollution from a nearby mine, the film explores their journeys through grief. Grace, a Belgian photographer haunted by the trauma of witnessing her guide’s death, arrives in the village seeking solace. Meanwhile, Saturnina, a young Indigenous woman, mourns the loss of her fiancé, who died from mercury poisoning.

"Altiplano" was filmed in several locations across the Peruvian highlands, with Puno standing out for its rich Andean traditions and culture. These carefully chosen settings add cultural and visual authenticity, helping viewers better understand the social context in which the story unfolds.
