Do you believe in the Supernatural, Magic, Spirits or Shaman?
Well, Andre Malby, the healer with special supernatural powers, had a medical doctor son named Mathu who wasn't so sure and became estranged from his father.
A woman who believes Malby healed her wants Mathu to attend a sort of tribute gathering to show appreciation for Malby, who has already passed by this time, many years later.
Mathu does not want to travel to meet with the woman and ignores the request for a while before finally accepting the journey. How do you know what's a lie, manipulation, suggestion, or a real healing process that is something science can't measure?
Mathu doesn't become a believer at the end of his voyage, but he does reconcile the resentment he felt towards his father over his lifetime.
This film wasn't what I had expected, but it was an interesting look at believers, faith, and skeptics who want scientific proof before they can believe.
Screened at the Hot Docs Film Festival. No release date available at the time of this post.
