Synopsis
Charo's mother predestined her own death. She didn't believe her. After a tragic accident, Claudia dies and Charo begins to experience several inexplicable events that make her reflect on the possibility that death does not exist as such. It is by listening to our own conscience that we will be able to understand the cosmos. Between the scientific theories surrounding biocentrism and various shamans from different latitudes of Latin America, the film plunges into a reflection on how globalization, science and religions negatively erode the collective unconscious in its ancestral connection with life.
