When the caravan arrives at the town of Macha where the Tinku festival is taking place, Kunturi’s life is changed forever. There he finds Ulala, the most beautiful girl he can imagine. Kunturi and Ulala feel the stirrings of first love as they share the same dream: to run together across the immense white sea of Salar de Uyuni until they reach the end of the horizon.
