Mankewenüy, amiga del cóndor

It portrays the Mapuche singer Anahí Rayen Mariluan on her quest to uncover the profound meaning of the manke (condor) for the Mapuche people. Upon discovering the existence of a lonko (leader) named Mankewenüy (friend of the condor) who lived on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi around 1790, Anahí decides to travel and retrace the paths taken by her ancestors. As a ñampulkafe and ülkantufe (traveler and singer), Anahí seeks sounds and stories that will allow her to create songs containing the newen of the manke (the condor's natural strength).
