Overview

Through Alejandro Jodorowsky's autobiographical and surrealist lens, this self-bildungsroman narrates the years of the Chilean autuer’s youth during which he liberated himself from various constraints and was introduced into the foremost bohemian artistic circle of 1940s Chile, including the likes of Enrique Lihn, Stella Díaz Varín, and Nicanor Parra before they became pillars in the poetry world.

He grew inspired by the beauty of existence alongside these artists, exploring life together, authentically and freely. A tribute to Chile's artistic heritage, the colorful film is also an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth, as a universal force capable of changing one's life forever, written by a man who has dedicated his life and career to creating spiritual and artistic awareness across the globe.
