Description

15 year old Simon Aguape plays violin in the village's orchestra. He lives with his parents and siblings on edge of the Bolivian Rain Forest in a straw hut without electricity and water. He is about to leave his village for the first time in his life as his orchestra has a performance in Peru.

Everybody is really excited to be leaving for Cuzco where the orchestra will perform in a baroque church, but for Simon this moment will be more than memorable because he will be performing his first big solo.
