From the icy expanses of Nunavik to the
luxuriant warmth of the Amazonian rain forest, we follow Charlie
the Inuk in his quest. After the death of the last known shaman,
Charlie realizes that nobody can guide him anymore in his research
about ancient beliefs and his commitment to find healing paths for
his people. So he goes in search of an Amazonian shaman and undergoes
an initiatory experience with him. Invigorated by the contact with
the energy of the spirits, the rituals and a discipline that takes
him into a trance, will he return home transformed by his science
of ecstasy? Will this journey provide him with the keys to a new
dialogue with the spirits haunting the tundra?
