Rito Terminal (2000)

Journey into the realms of magical realism as indigenous beliefs and native culture come face-to-face with the modern world. A photographer visiting a celebration of the patron saint of a small village community loses his shadow and is drawn into a world of witchcraft and superstition. During a traditional funeral ceremony, a spiritual exchange causes him to lose his sense of the convictions that bind him to the "real" world. Soon he is forced to confront the question of what is left behind when you submit, unconditionally, to progress as he becomes a trespasser into realms spiritual and sacred, where reality is denied by the senses.
