## Synopsis
In the high Andes, a shepherd girl named Killa sees a headless ghost, the Aya Uma, on a sacred terrace. When the ghost's appearance brings a curse upon her village, Killa must uncover the mystery of the missing head to save everyone. Guided by her grandmother's wisdom and a young shaman, she faces trials and betrayals to restore balance between the living and the dead. A tale of guilt, redemption, and the enduring power of ancient beliefs. An AI-assisted retelling of the ghost story "Aya Uma" from Peru.
