Uma is an Aymara girl who lives in the high Andean zone and dreams of seeing the sea. This becomes a reality thanks to the imperative need of her community: to obtain sea water for a ritual that allows the rains to return to her village. This story allows us to understand how some people from South America, whose ancestors occupied the territory long before the current borders were established, live. It shows how some communities have a close relationship with their geography and the cycles of nature, and thank through offerings to the Pachamama or Mother Earth. This helps us to remember that we all depend on nature, but we have moved away from it. The story also speaks to us of austerity, of a simple life, in the midst of an era of extreme consumerism; a simple life, but, precisely because of this, valuable and full of meaning.
