Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands) is more than a mountain. It was a sacred site for the indigenous people of Fuerteventura; later, its rock was quarried and sold for ornamental purposes; more recently, it was the proposed location for a “Monument to Tolerance” designed by artist Eduardo Chillida. Today, goat herders and tourists cross paths on it. The film explores the multiple meanings of this site, against a background of tourism, post-crisis ruins and arid landscapes.
