    • Synopsis
    • The figure of the shaman was born in the primitive societies with the aim of solving basic problems for the survival of any society. It is not only an important healing system but a bridge between spiritual and earthly energies. The Shaman represents the channel of the divine will and the forces of nature made available to humanity through love and understanding.
      Corrado Azzollini, film producer, in love with the African continent and its secrets, knows that to fully understand Africa he must learn to know its spirits, but the only way to access “another world” is a shaman’s touch . With a mini-troupe he embarks on a journey on the trail of mystical individuals and magical rituals relying on his curiosity and old and trusted friends. The journey among the spirits begins in two African nations as different from each other but equally fascinating: Morocco and Kenya.
