Nayra

 

Nayra is a small, independent narrative film shot in the high Andes in Bolivia. A dual language Spanish and Aymara film, Nayra is the story of fathers and sons, indigenous traditions and modernity, the past and the present, and how understanding and communication can bridge the divide between all of those. Exploring themes of identity in a country with deep class, economic and racial divisions, Nayra is a film about both differences and acceptance. The production is based in a national park in a small community of alpaca farmers. The production aims to work primarily with local cast and crew, with respect for and incorporating their experience and traditions.
