In Fuerabamba, according to the myth, the land dried up since, in ancient times, the world of the community was captured by the Iberian conquerors and taken prisoner in the Pamparqui ranch. For this reason, the Fuerabambinos lost their status as farmers and became rustlers. During all the stages of the hacienda to free the prisoner god and recover their status as farmers, they were always rejected. Laúlico, head of the community, makes decisions at the hacienda but then finds himself and his people once again.
Kuntur Wachana is a docudrama in which Garcia re-created the 1950s uprising of the Huaran hacienda campesinos against the hacendados, which led to the assassination of two union organizers. The film then follows the travails of the peasants until 1969, when the Huaran Cooperative was formed.
