Kai spirals into depression after learning his mother's cancer has worsened, leading him to push away his loved ones and retreat into a "dark path of negativity".
💡 The film suggests that "becoming a shaman" is less about magic and more about the difficult choice to stay positive and help others even when you are personally hurting.
The story serves as a contemporary fable about finding light in the darkest periods of life.
Kai finds solace in nature and the memories of his late grandfather, a shaman and owl trainer. His journey involves deciding whether to succumb to his pain or embrace his ancestral "shaman ways" to become a healer.
Despite its modest indie roots, the film received critical praise for its technical execution and emotional depth.
