synopsis
Over forty years ago Marcel fled from Spain to avoid military service. He found his paradise in Latin America, in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, where he lives as a shaman practising mystical rituals, often in the company of young travellers escaping from hectic Western civilisation. The film, like his deeply sensory ceremonies, is played out in a hypnotic rhythm, almost without words.
biography
