On discovering the existence of a lonko (chief) called Mankewenüy (friend of the condor) who lived on the banks of the Nahuel Huapi in 1790, Anahí decides to make a journey through the Andes and retrace the paths taken by her ancestors. As a ñampulkafe and ülkantufe (traveller and singer) Anahí goes in search of sounds and stories that allow her to create songs that contain the newen of the manke (natural force of the condor).
During this journey she meets poets, singers, instrument makers, machis (spiritual leaders); to let us hear in them volcanoes that speak, mountains that sound and rivers that sing.

FICNOVA recognises the film for its contribution:
A look that makes us fly towards spirituality, towards poetry, towards the best feelings of the human soul, so forgotten in the poor materialistic world of the overcrowded cities. A song to hope that makes us connect when we see the condor flying.
