    • Synopsis
    • "OUT OF THE CAVE" is an enlightening journey through the recesses of the soul, inspired by the Platonic myth of emerging from the cave and Joseph Campbell's heroic monomyth. Set amidst the majestic valleys and mountains of Switzerland's Canton Ticino, the documentary follows Pier Luigi Lattuada (a doctor, psychologist, and psychotherapist) on his path toward understanding the Self and its connection with the world.
      Through the lenses of ancient spiritual traditions and Lattuada's experiences, the film explores the inner challenges we face on our journey toward personal growth. With a runtime of 68 minutes, "OUT OF THE CAVE" offers a transcendental visual experience that challenges viewers to explore their inner depths.
      The protagonist's narrative, rich with fertile reflections, intertwines with interviews with luminaries from the transpersonal world. Contributors such as Lama Michel Rinpoche, Serge Beddington- Behrens, Glenn Hartelius, Steve Taylor, Zana Marovic, Regina U. Hess, Les Lancaster, Brant Cortright, Jorge Ferrer, and Erica Francesca Poli enrich the storytelling by offering unique perspectives on freedom and serenity of the spirit.
      The film aims to raise public awareness about the importance of inner growth and self-awareness, encouraging a profound reflection on the meaning of life and our connection with the divine. With a blend of nature, poetry, beauty, and wisdom, "OUT OF THE CAVE" invites viewers to "soul- making" and regeneration through awareness and love, providing a valuable guide that marks the stages of a journey towards personal fulfillment.
