Synopsis: Minjon (Hyunri) is the priestess of a fake religion, the aim of which is to make money with. In the course of the movie, she starts to develop a conscience and an interest in her grandmother, who was a shaman back in Korea, which eventually leads to a clash with the other members of her "religion". And since her father owes money to the Yakuza, things become even more complicated.
Review: My train arriving a bit late to watch Yvy Maraey, a Bolivian movie in the section Native-Indigeneous cinema, I tried to sneak in Ten no chasuke but did not work as it is only for accredited press. It was a risky choice. 
And finally the risk was there. the movie was very very long, and felt even longer! Apart from a critic of the sect, there is not much in the movie. No valuable acting, no valuable cinematography, no valuable story telling. I may have missed something. But Alex and Rudi, two usual festival goers, felt alike. I was even more angry to have missed Yvy Maraey
Rating: 1 /10
