In the Andes, on the border between Peru and Ecuador, some landscapes are said to possess a soul. For more than 700 years, shamans have drawn their power to heal from the Huaringas, sacred lagoons located on the border of Peru and Ecuador.

Anthropologist Anne-Sylvie Malbrancke goes to meet Jenny, a young Peruvian who has crossed the whole country and spent most of her savings to ask the sacred lakes to heal her health problem.
Oscar Herrera is the heir to a long line of shamans. Here, they are called curanderos, or healers. He will carry out the ceremony and enter into contact with the forces of nature to try and cure the young woman.
