“An ancient legacy of the knowledge of copal, fire and corn”

Portrait of how Mazatec men and women manage their oracles to be able to predict diseases and to be able to cure them, through ancient knowledge, which uses everything from eating mushrooms, and cleaning with eggs, to reading corn. This documentary shares a simple look at details and moments where mysticism and tradition come to life to reach the self-knowledge of those who attend the healers in search of peace and health.
