From between the clouds and at more than 4000 meters above sea level, an endangered town rises. Six of its seven inhabitants are over 70 years of age and faced with the impossibility of a promising future and seduced by the promises and lights of the city, the young people who have migrated will no longer return. This family blurs the geographical limits and wanders indistinctly through Chile and Bolivia carrying in silence and with melancholy the weight of being the last inhabitants of the place.
De entre las nubes y a más de 4000 msnm se erige un poblado en extinción. Seis de sus siete habitantes superan los 70 años de edad y ante la imposibilidad de un futuro prometedor y seducidos por las promesas y  luces de la ciudad los jóvenes que han migrado ya no volverán. Esta familia desdibuja los límites geográficos y deambula indistintamente por Chile y Bolivia cargando en silencio y con melancolía el peso de ser los últimos habitantes del lugar.
