It's a great movie which focuses on real ideas of healing . The first being accepting what's happening to you. The protagonist seems to accept what's happening to him and that he needs some healing . It shows we all are different and the way we all react to certain situation is different and unique , so as our pain , a lot of people may not be really understanding what's really happening to the protagonist because they haven't witnessed that state . The charecter seem to be in high depressive state , completely hopeless and helpless feeling inside . The medicines and established therapies not doing any good .
So , sets on a journey in finding a shaman who can really help him . After a couple of disappointments , he finds his healer , pepe , who seems to teach the real idea about healing . It's not about curing the symptom which most mordern medicine focus on , but it's about healing the cause and the whole system . Also it shows how healing are pretty spiritual process . The movie ends on a note that , to every problem the solution is within you . And it's not about becoming a great person according to society rather realising that you are a small part of this great existence . It also shows how capitalism destroys life of these people.
