[Short Film "Invisible Barriers"] Brazil, 2021 "Through an astral journey in a shamanic ritual with ayahuasca, the short film “Invisible Barriers” portrays the trajectory of a woman in search of a cure for her anguish, pain and guilt, after the end of an abusive relationship. Relying on a ritualistic dance as a process of liberation, during her altered state of consciousness in shamanic ritual, Maria connects with her inner wisdom and unleashes everything that imprisoned her within the old patterns. That night, she manages to understand a maximum of the shamanic concept: “Nobody cures the other. The cure is within each one”.
