Storyline

Pre-Hispanic concepts are shown mixed with the religion imposed by the colonizers, thus creating a religious-magical-medical system that balances between good and evil and is in itself its balance. An example of this are the magical divinatory rites and the use of plants by traditional doctors and witch doctors in the south of Veracruz, presented in this documentary.
