Film still from "Puka Urpi," directed by Segundo Fuérez (Ecuador, 2025).

Inspired by an Ecuadorian oral tale, Puka Urpi tells the adventure of Killa, a five-year-old girl who, after the death of her mother, moves from the city to the countryside to live with her grandmother. At first, she does not understand the language or the environment, but little by little, over time, she learns from her grandmother how to work the land and connects with the countryside and nature. One day, her grandmother falls ill and Killa goes into the forest in search of medicine. There she finds some red feathers that guide her to an old house where she finds something that will change her destiny.

Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Catalan.

A film in the 2025 edition of IndiFest, Barcelona Indigenous Film Festival.
