Synopsis
Framed within the disappointment of a failing romance, the filmmaker goes in search of five disappeared women, believed to have been part of Carlos Castaneda’s ‘harem’. Trying to find out what hooked these women on the cultish guru figure she unveils some uncomfortable ‘truths’ she was unaware of, about herself.
Taking the form of fragmented portraiture, the film looks into the culture of belief, touching on failures of love, power relationships and myth-making.
