One of the best Doco's i've seen recently, the continuous dialog between Alan and Placido make you wonder how far modern civilisation banned the importance of the Nature.
People who prefer ratio, might find difficulties to understand and accept the immense valuable teachings and wisdom given in this docu-film. I recommend this film to everyone, even children, to hear this and especially to absorb this in your whole Heart, your inner knowing. Kore
Alan (main character / director) travels into the the deepest unconscious in the Heights of The Peruvian Andes, where he will be guided by Placido, Q'ero Shaman Priest.
Q'eros is a Community who kept isolated from the Western influence since the time of the conquest, deciding to resume open contact with the rest of civilization only decades ago. Thus, Q'eros have become the last remaining Guardians of the Knowledge of the Andes.
Alan will be walking through the shamanic practices and initiations, a path that will expand his perception of reality, to find out the meaning of his existence and the origins of man.
This movie is an essential way to spread the Legacy and Original Teachings that this community has kept and embodied for hundreds of years.
Placido is one of the few Q'ero "Paqos" that can handle the Spanish Language diligently. For this reason, his role is of great value in this present Era, in which the prophecies announce the meeting of the Man of the West with the Man of the Andes, the encounter between the Eagle and the Condor.
Splendid Photography, Illustration, Animation, Music and Sound Effects manage to enhance the message, achieving intense and very moving passages.
"Listen to your heartbeat, and the Earth's heartbeat. Feel you are a part of everything. Breathe from the trees, from the rock, from the ocean. Just be aware that you are Earth."
"Understanding a second birth from the mind, means being aware of where we are. It is realizing who we are."

It is very understanding, and who doesn't want to go to the Andes to have an enlightenment and spiritual experience with a shaman; Who's knowledge is past from generations to generations, knowledge no book can provide. A way of life that it is sadly impossible for most humans on this earth. The answer is simple, thanks to this movie and it's creators it is possible for us viewers to get a look in to a deep spiritual journey. If something is wrong, if something feels wrong, it is simply because it is. Then you have to look in another direction. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and finding the answers to your questions. This is something all should do, but as the shaman says is that all men are asleep. I you can, try to live in balance with yourself and nature, never stop seeking and the rest is details.

I enjoyed this movie. As a student of Andean mysticism I was captivated by this young man's search for meaning. I am much more interested in the energy of an experience than in a critical analysis of contents. Having said that, the energy of this movie was beautiful, gentle, and free of dogma. I thank you for producing this video and sharing it with the world and with me.
