No ratings yet

Nachi, a native elderly curandero observes the beautiful nature of his beloved Andean highlands. His final destination? Marcahuasi, a mystical stone forest at 4000m altitude. In his backpack the healer carries the San Pedro, a cactus so respected in the region for its hallucinogenic effect. He believes that the Huachuma, as the plant is called in Quechua, can connect our past, present and future. Karoline, a young filmmaker, follows him with her camera. Full of doubts and questions, she wants to use the Huachuma to communicate with her deceased parents. Will she be able to see them one more time? Two stories entwined in an intimate journey through grief and the tender struggle of letting go.
