Don Rosauro is standing in the middle of an endless white desert. He ́s a salt worker at Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. For generations the dependants of the Ayamara Indians have been mining salt here. The salt lake ́s ground is assumed to hold the world ́s biggest amount of lithium. Lithium - the future ́s resource. How will the salt worker ́s microcosmos change, when a globalized world reaches in? In a close portrait the film carefully joins two generations while discovering first signs of future changes.
