After fifteen years in New York, Nelida Silva returns to her birthplace in the Andes to fulfill a lifelong dream and host the fiesta patronal -- a week of dance, music, and ritual honoring the town's patron saint. But Neli's changed, and so has the village...

Meanwhile, Cynthia Paniagua, a dancer raised in Queens by a Peruvian mom, embarks on her own Peruvian journey after meeting Neli -- determined to "quench a burning desire to know the real Peru, to unearth the mystery of the dances."

Soy Andina is an exuberant cross-cultural road trip, propelled by traditional music and dance rarely seen outside the country. But the core story is intimate and universal: a yearning for roots and connection in a globalized world.
