Sinopse
Partly documentary and fiction, this is a hybrid film by the Belgian Wayn Traub to his last avatar of Petrus. After a trip to Asia and The Philippines, haunted by sex tourism issues, he handles several identities for an inquiry: as a prophetic apocalyptic monk, as a cyberpunk artist or a porn film producer. Petrus wonders how to be committed in our society shaken by the Capitalism crisis and Catholicism’s decay. To reflect his concern, he made interviews afterward changing his destiny: with the cult Alejandro Jodorowsky, J-Hon a New York rapper, the Femen activists and the ritual theater historian Freddy Decreus. The film is also a tribute to counterculture filmmakers as Johan Soderberg and A. Jodorowsky .
