Daughter of the Lake tells the story of Nélida, an Andean woman who is able to communicate with water spirits and uses her powers to fight a mining corporation bent on destroying the lake she considers to be her mother. Directly beneath Nélida's lakes lies a rich deposit of gold that triggers a confrontation between local farmers, afraid of losing their water supply, and the largest gold mining corporation in South America.
