In 1971, some young Peruvian playwrights founded the group Yuyachkani, a Quechua word which means: "I am thinking, I am remembering. 25 years later, in 1996, the group celebrates its anniversary, performing a retrospective of its most important works, which allows them to think and remember about the scene they have traveled

In 1424, the Chancas tried to conquer a small kingdom: the Incas. In this war, the destiny of the Andean world was decided with the rise of Pachacutec as the leader in Cusco, and the genesis of the Incan Empire and its expansion under his rule. This short narrates the decisive battle between the two factions, along with mythological elements.

The police detective Waldo, of immersed and circumspect disposition and temper, investigates several crimes associated with indigenous rituals that occur in some regions of the Peruvian Andes. There we find a boy and a girl who are about to enter puberty and begin to interact with certain mythical beings, a supernatural belief very common in many Andean villages. A sinister character, pretending to be on a mission of faith, but imbued with religious dogmatism and intolerance, interrupts this peaceful scene as he casts an ominous shadow over these ancient Peruvian beliefs. Although Waldo's boss considers him inferior and distrusts his methods (a form of discrimination), the policeman continues his efforts to capture the "Extirpator of Idolatries.¨ At the same time, Waldo will resolve his own inner conflict which has troubled him all his life.
