SYNOPSIS

On his first trip to the city, Panchito, a peasant boy, gets lost at a fair in El Alto (Bolivia). Despite his and his father’s efforts, he ends up in an orphanage. During the school civic hour, in which the more than one hundred years in which Bolivia lost access to the sea against Chile are remembered, he meets Pedro, a Chilean boy who lost his parents in Antofagasta (Chile). Panchito wants to go back to his house in the country with his father. Pedro has the illusion that the sea is the immense blue door to heaven that will take him to his parents. This feeling joins them on a journey between the arid plateau, with the whistle of the earthy wind, and the vigorous wind on the waves of the ocean. But fate is not always as expected.

a film by Yvette Paz Soldán

THE DIRECTOR

As Director and Director of Photography, Yvette Paz Soldán has a unique combination in our country, having achieved an extensive photographic, audiovisual and cinematographic career. With initial studies at a technical level in audiovisual production in Bolivia, Paz Soldán was later trained in the US studying Audiovisual Technology and Introduction to Broadcasting. Later, she completed higher studies at the University of Bergen, in Norway, and at the Escuela Internacional de Cine y Tv (EICTV) in Cuba, achieving a master’s degree in Screenwriting.
Working as a photographer, she has worked on more than 15 feature films, either in the role of Gaffer, still photography or cinematography. She has worked with renowned international media companies such as the Discovery channel, the Travel channel, ABC and the BBC among others. Today Yvette Paz Soldán presents us with her debut film, The Tune of the Wind, and demonstrates with it her mastery of photography, but above all, she reveals her great sensitivity as Director to see and tell us in a simple, almost poetic way, things that in the everyday we often do not perceive.

Yvette Paz Soldán takes us through her directing work and the scenarios she paints with her camera to delight us with the landscape and move us with her portraits of deep gazes. The Tune of the Wind is a journey of penetrating silences and constant amazement.
