'Having broken away from my illusory self, I was desperately seeking a path and a meaning to life.' This phrase perfectly sums up Alejandro Jodorowsky’s biographical project: reconstituting the incredible adventure of his life. He was born in 1929 Tocopilla, a coastal town on edge of the Chilean desert, where he discovered the fundamentals of reality, as he underwent an unhappy and alienated childhood as part of an uprooted family.

A deeply personal, often bizarre, and visually arresting journey into the filmmaker's psyche. It's a raw, unflinching exploration of memory and trauma, rendered with Jodorowsky's signature surrealist flair. Prepare for a mind-bending, spiritual odyssey.
