On a trip through Patagonia, I search for traces of my Mapuche grandmother's silenced identity. There, I encounter the kimches (wise elders) who know how to transmit ancestral knowledge through newen (vital energy), transforming words into seeds for new generations. As I listen to their words, I recover part of that identity that was denied to me as well.
