Death in the Aymara culture is an experience in which the mourners, the community, the souls participate together. Age-old rituals mixed with Catholic symbols assimilated by the people frame the story of Andres and his young daughter Leonora, who upon drowning in Lake Titikaka, must find their way to Korimarca (the Aymara Heaven) with help from the members of the community to which they belonged.
