The Dance of Reality

Alejandro Jodorowsky comes back to the camera after twenty-three years, standing as his own older self in Tocopilla, the Chilean coastal town where he was born in 1929. His younger self, Child Alejandro (Jeremias Herskovits), grows up in a family that never settled, beside a father, Jaime (Brontis Jodorowsky), whose rules make no sense to a boy. Alejandro was looking for a path and a meaning to life, and the film follows the boy toward that search.
