The Pacha and the souls

An animation with mud that tells a little story the day when souls are expected to descend to earth. Every 2nd of November offerings of bread are made and placed on the table along with food and drinks for the souls. This type of belief reflects the cyclical concept of time and life for Andean cultures guided by the Pachamama (Mother Earth) still in force in northern Argentina.
