In a nostalgic childhood memoir, the octogenarian director, Alejandro Jodorowsky, returns to the 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 and intricate dance of reality.
