Premiered at the 2001 San Diego Latino Film Festival, this intriguing and entertaining film takes us 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. Then, during a traditional funeral ceremony, a spiritual exchange causes him to lose his sense of the convictions that bind him to the "real" world. What ensues is a quintessential hero’s journey in which he is forced to confront the question of what is left behind when you submit, unconditionally, to progress. He becomes, essentially, a trespasser into realms spiritual and sacred, where reality is denied by the senses. The local inhabitants both inform and challenge this unknown path. It is not until he accepts the loss of his shadow, and is able to face the woman who took it, that he will finally be able to recover it. A really mysterious and engaging plot makes this film a must see during Cine Mexicano 2001!
