A glimpse into the mind and life of filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, this work retraces his spiritual and mystical journey since childhood, vividly portraying events through an unleashed imagination. It delves into the development of his psychomagic and metagenealogy practices, revealing how all problems stem from the family tree. Jodorowsky re-creates his incredible adventure as an artist, filmmaker, writer, and therapist, pushing the boundaries of imagination and reason. Unlike a traditional autobiography, this narrative repaints his life events from a unique perspective, exposing the mythic models and family templates that shape everyday experiences. Through vivid examples, particularly his interactions with his parents, he illustrates that true fulfillment requires shedding the phantoms projected by family. The narrative serves as an act of healing, demonstrating that our personalities are shaped by familial influences. Jodorowsky asserts that being born into a family means being possessed by its legacy. By exploring our past, we can uncover an inner light that guides us through life’s challenges. This work inspired Jodorowsky’s critically acclaimed film, which debuted at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
