Tanu, Witness of Time

Plot: "Tanu" is a journey spun by the contemplation of the moment, the noble moment in the region of Magallanes, Chile, specifically in Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine. "Tanu" - whose name is a reference to a Selk'nam spirit who is a witness of time - is a tribute, a deep ode of admiration and contemplation of the author to Patagonia, musicalized by Tito and his magnanimous psychedelic work "Quetzalcoatl" 1977.
