Storyline 

In a nostalgic childhood memoir, octogenarian director Alejandro Jodorowsky returns to coastal Tocopilla, his hometown in the Chilean desert.

Through illusion, dream-like sequences, mysticism, and New Age metaphors, Jodorowsky portrays vividly his loving mother and his authoritarian father who wanted to make a man out of him, recounting the days of innocence against the backdrop of an eccentric, intricate dance of reality.
