Albert, an American tourist, embarks on a vacation to Bolivia, eager to explore its rich culture and stunning landscapes. After visiting the country’s famous sights, he travels to the city of Cochabamba and spends two weeks living with a local Indigenous tribe. Immersed in their customs and rituals, Albert experiences a journey unlike any other – a journey that will change his life forever. During his stay, Albert learns profound philosophical lessons from Abilio, the tribe’s wise leader, who tells him: “We cannot undo the mark of a small wound on our hand, let alone mend a torn heart. Familiar sights – a strand of hair, a familiar pair of eyes, a fleeting scent – can darken our lives. Heartbreak doesn’t heal easily; it’s like a wound that never closes. But we must move forward. See, and go on. Don’t give up.”
