Go away!

Go away, murderers!

Go away!

Get off our land!

Get off...

Ignacio!

- Was that your dog?

- No.

- Is this your house?

- Yes.

Whats your name?

Mallku.

Mallku.

Im Grace.

Where are you going?

Up the mountains.

That area is closed

off. You cant go there.

Dont worry.

The wound is superficial.

He didnt really bite you.

Thank you, Mallku.

Take this.

The stone will carry your sadness.

I will not die in silence...

or invisibly.

Your poison will not kill me slowly.

Without an image there is no story.

Mother Earth will never

forgive your greed.

In the stones, my blood will

run forever like a warrior.

In the waters...

my shadow will run

forever, like a warrior.

Like a warrior!

Come my fellow men, lets play.

Where Saturninas soul go?

Will it go to heaven?

Or will it go to hell?

Throw your dice!

Its a tie!

Tie!

Its a tie!

There was once a bride,

a beautiful young bride,

who dreamed of a sunny life.

One day, poison came

tumbling into her village

and took away her loved one.

Have you lost a loved one?

Have you lost a loved one?

Yes.

Her sorrow was so deep...

deep as the veins of

gold in the earth...

Her wrath exploded...

Have you ever felt wrath?

Yes.

She marched to the fortress

where her enemies stood...

and she unleashed her wrath.

And then she broke...

And then God looked away...

Do you believe in God?

What are you doing?

If the image is restored,

their hope will be restored.

What happened here?

Poison came tumbling into the village.

Youre blind.

I see what you cannot see.

The surface is defined from within.

Who are you?

Grace.

Grace...

- Im a photographer.

- Photographer...

You must be very thirsty.

Oh, my dear.

I feel your sadness.

Rise up.

May your heart bloom again.

I will not die in silence...

or invisibly.

Your poison will not kill me slowly...

Without an image there is no story.

Mother Earth will never

forgive their greed.

In the stones...

my blood will run

forever like a warrior.
