Atoqcha travels between his home in the mountains where his mother lives and the city of Cusco, looking for a place to live and work, seeking a future as a civil engineering student. Along his journey, he will find a friend who will welcome him like family. However, he cannot forget his mother or his sister, who is also searching for her own path, or the land where he grew up. Going back is his way, despite starting anew, because his heart will always be divided, just like his country.
Atoqcha transita entre su casa en las montañas donde vive su madre y la ciudad del Cusco, buscando donde vivir y trabajar, e intentando labrarse un futuro como estudiante universitario. En su camino encontrará un amigo que lo acogerá como su familia. Sin embargo, no puede olvidar a su madre ni a su hermana, quien también está buscando su propio camino, ni la tierra donde creció. Volver es su camino, a pesar de que supone empezar de nuevo. Porque su corazón, como su país, estará dividido siempre.
