The documentary follows the Umaturka ritual which regulates a community's social system and their relationship with the environment, to keep the balance in the fragile Andean ecology. This ritual demonstrates the important interconnection between the vast ecological zones of the Andes and the Amazon in South America, and the simplicity of cultural systems to maintain them through symbolism. 'UMATURKA The Call of the Water' stands as an artistic insight into an ancient cultural system. A testimony of cultural resistance.
