A unique and transcendent conceptual documentary that, through a complex Chilean musical work, rescues the sense of identity that is passed down from generation to generation, rescuing fundamental pillars of literary and musical creation.

Los Jaivas are the most important rock band in the history of Chile. 55 years of music and friendship. Memories emerge note by note, song after song, tour after tour. An intimate portrait of their musical life where for the first time they share their archives that have been accumulated for years on the shelves of a small apartment in Santiago.

Nineteen years after recording "Las Alturas de Macchu Picchu", Los Jaivas returned to Cusco in March 2000 for an exclusive concert at the imposing ruins of Sacsayhuamán. Thirty thousand people gathered (braving the rain at times) to witness this magnificent spectacle, which also featured a thrilling and massive choreography. The reunion with their friends from the band "El Polen" fostered a sense of camaraderie that Los Jaivas have always cultivated in their songs. The work of filmmaker José Luis Valenzuela is particularly interesting, blending footage of the concert with images of the set, rehearsals, travel and stay in Cusco.

Five young men from Viña del Mar brought to life in the 1960s the most internationally renowned Chilean folk band. This documentary is a journey into the past, featuring testimonies from the members of Los Jaivas themselves about their early years, recalling their beginnings in the fusion of progressive rock and Latin American folk music.
