This documentary shows us the lives of 10 people from the Wixarika (Huichol) and Nayeri (Cora) cultures. They live in different areas of the Sierra Madre Occidental but face new forms of conquest by present-day society, which constantly threatens their ancient culture and natural resources, which are vital for the enactment of their most sacred ceremonies.
