During the pandemic, rural teacher Walter Velásquez, dedicated to science and technology for years, creates a robot from computer scrap and baptizes it with the name Kipi. Most of Walter's students left school due to COVID-19 pandemic and returned to their communities. Without connectivity or access due to dispersed population centers, Kipi becomes the teacher's assistant and accompanies the educational pilgrimage of its creator, bringing learning to homes and communities.

The film is a testimony to the ethical value of an educational project put into effect in remote Andean villages by a teacher at the time of the pandemic, with a robot made from recycled materials. During the adventurous encounters with schoolchildren, the transmission of traditional knowledge represents an innovative proposal for the use of artificial intelligence to overcome isolation and foster the social inclusion of communities.
