Description: An intimate portrait of a Venezuelan traditional faith healer set against the backdrop of his community's Easter celebrations. This documentary film looks at the healer's role as mediator between the social, natural and spiritual worlds. The film suggests an underlying cultural rationale behind a broad spectrum of apparently contradictory health-related practices, where man and the environment are inextricably linked.
