The communal justice system accuses Don Evaristo, 80 years old, of the murder of his granddaughter Yana-Wara, 13 years old. During the hearing, everyone learns the tragic story of this young girl.

Óscar Catacora made history in 2018 with Eternity - the first film in the Aymara language and Peru’s Oscar submission for that year. The filmmaker passed away in the early production stages of his second Aymara-language feature Yana-Wara, with his uncle Tito Catacora taking the helm to carry on with the shoot.

Filmed in the Puno Region of Peru,and employing a cast made up entirely of non-professional actors, the film addresses deep themes, such as the Aymara worldview and the denunciation of social problems, such as machismo and sexual violence.
