[Picture from the movie Huinay]
The Andean mountains of the Northern part of Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, are beautiful and are full of mysticism ... a sense of permanence emanates in this region. A Chilean movie director called Patricio Schmidt, made a short film that represents extremely well, the meaning and life on this part of the world. Every time I watch it, it blows my mind. The story, the photography, and the music touch my heart.
I have been in love with Andean culture since I was 12 years old, and I find this short film to be magical. Just wanted to share it with you; here it is ... Huinay [Eternal].
[Important part of this movie is a letter. For those who don't speak Spanish here is what the letter says: "My Love, Agustin: You will be reading these words when I am not here any longer. I want you to know that I free you and forgive you. Deliver me to the Pachamama [Mother Earth] so I can be born again next to you ... in that place where we were happy."]

La zona de los Andes del Norte de Chile, Peru, y Bolivia es hermosa y llena de misticismo ... un sentido de permanencia trasciende en esta region. Un cineasta chileno, Patricio Schmidt, hizo un cortometraje que representa muy bien el significado y la vida en esta parte del mundo. Cada vez que lo veo me alucina. La historia, la fotografía y la música me llegan al corazón.
He estado enamorada de la cultura Andina desde que tenía 12 aňos y encuentro que este film es mágico. Tan sólo quería compartirlo; acá está ...Huinay [Eterno]
