Synopsis
Griela, in her quest to connect with nature and leave a valuable legacy for her daughter Agustina, embarks on a journey towards her roots, where she meets Yoni, an artisan who surprises her with her weaving skills, embarking together on an adventure in the world of sustainable fashion and generating a chain of talented people who come together to create a brand that transcends from the most intimate looms to the most surprising catwalks in the world.
It is a tribute to the ‘amautas’ of our culture and a showcase that seeks to revalue the work of the hands in charge of making such wonderful products, from the field to the catwalks.
