Synopsis: A shaman of the Andean tradition who emerges in different regions of the Andean Cordillera and disappears again. He talks to and about the mountains, the water, the rocks, the people, and finds out under what disease the human race of the present suffers.
Review: The difficulty to give a critic of the Western consumerist society when you are outside of it is the degree of knowledge about it. This documentary would have been authentic and efficient if it would have just done his job of explaining the world, the mindset and the habits of the Andean traditions. Instead of that good 90% of the monologue is focused on accusing the Western consumerist society of things. That might be true but fails the major advantage of having shots of the Andean Cordillera and of its people that is: talk about the Andean Cordillera and its people.  I see this movie therefore not as indigeneous movie but as an occidental movie with indigene people.  The pictures have been shot in different places, but as it is not possible to follow where it is, the sometimes astonishing landscapes got forgotten.
