Olga Painé, a Mapuche-Tehuelche girl, is uprooted from her Patagonian land in Río Negro in 1946. She grew up among nuns, discriminated against because of her origin. As an adult, she searches for her family. In the midst of the dictatorship, she became a singer, changed her name to Aimé Painé and recognised her roots. She begins a path of search and denunciation through the wisdom of her people. She is the first Mapuche woman to expand her voice. Her life has been a mystery. Her work, a legacy.
