The Mayan people have curiously preserved elements of the cosmological vision of its prehistoric ancestors: presence in absence, permanence and renewal and timeless Mayan fantasy live on among the current natives. The Popol Vuh emphasizes a world that wavers between faith and skepticism. The transcendence of the material and the immaterial. Awakening to reality or dream of a syncretic world, this film takes us through Mayan time and space. The voice of an old man is our guide into the obscure mysticism of the peasants, that which evokes the struggles of the spirits of good and evil. The old man's profound, skeptical wisdom recalls contemporary contradictions which dissolve in a faith, redevelop and nuance in order to exist.
