Brothers Álvaro and Diego Sarmiento follow five women from the Andes highlands in their daily struggle to preserve traditional and organic methods of agriculture that are centuries old and are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. These women share their insights on the connections between plants and animals, between diseases and what we eat as well as the differences in taste between organically grown food and those following a more industrial method of growing and harvesting. The Sarmientos also join them in their travels, especially a poignant one to a global seed vault in Norway where the planet's seeds are being protected.
