Synopsis A Peruvian father works patiently, chipping at the white volcanic stone. His son uses cameras and drones in order to create the digital model of a church on a computer. Separated by a mysterious death, these men do not bond. And yet each in their own way works with textures and volumes, sensations and perceptions. Can digital art give a new life to the old world? Can it awaken hearts grown lonely and cold?
