Floating with Spirits.
Back to listSynopsis
In this cinematic VR, two little indigenous sisters prepare for the Day of the Dead and recall the ancestral knowledge and mystical cosmogony their shaman grandmother used to share with them, in the misty mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Their village lies amidst giant Ceiba trees and rivers full of life. Nature breathes and within, preserves the memories of this community. The landscape that surrounds them is full of knowledge.
A shamanic dance ritual opens a portal through which we can discover the secret worlds of 4 spirits of nature and make a new connection with the ancestral Mazatec knowledge. Their vision of the world is beautiful, deep and urgent to be shared in a moment where our society needs to rewire its ways of interacting with nature.
