La profecía del lago
José María Velasco Maidana
Set in contemporary Bolivia, a love story between an Aymara man and the daughter of a white landowner. The film was censored and cancelled by the authorities, due to its "social critique" (highlighting the condition of indigenous Bolivians) and the controversial idea of a white woman falling in love with an indigenous man.
