Luxbox has nabbed worldwide rights to Peru’s “Through Rocks and Clouds” (“Raiz”) ahead of its world premiere at Berlinale’s Generation Kplus sidebar.

Paris-based Luxbox, one of Europe’s most prominent sales agents and an occasional producer of Spanish-language art house titles, has snagged worldwide rights to Peru ’s “Through Rocks and Clouds” (“Raiz”) ahead of its world premiere at Berlinale ’s Generation Kplus sidebar. Set against stunning vistas of a snowcapped Andes mountain range, the film revolves around Feliciano, an eight-year-old alpaca herder and avid soccer fan who is giddy about Peru’s increasing chances at qualifying for the World Cup. “Combining Annemarie’s perspective as a migrant to this region and Alicia’s knowledge of growing up in the Andes, we worked to script a film that exposes the variety of difficulties faced by indigenous communities, triggered by socio-environmental conflicts,” they added.
