Trankal Küra, or thunder stone, was filmed in the town of Chamichaco, Ercilla, Chile. The idea of ​​carrying out this act came from the twelve-year-old boy Héctor Carilao Rukal. The Choike purrün and kollón purrün dance took place in family territory, today occupied by a forestry company. Thus, the decision to perform this rite in that space is an act of resignification and resistance for the memory of the people. The video shows the peñi Héctor Carialo Rukal, who performs the ritual on the ashes, while the camera follows like a püllü accompanying spirit.
