Curandera

Curandera explores the darker elements of shamanism, desire and friendship. In the mountainous town of Gethsemane, 17th century Cape Verde, a mysterious woman''s arrival sparks a series of strange events that will leave the town''s inhabitants changed - men sporadically blind in the afternoons, children disappearing and reappearing without warning and infertile women pregnant with the memories of past births. In present day London, a quartet are brought together by their fascination with ritual, miracles, and a life beyond the mundane. Botanist Therese lives with Azacca, a Haitian musician who leaves offerings, Peruvian drifter Emilien who is haunted by the past and adventurous Finn, who is increasingly drawn to living life on the edge. With the past and present beginning to blur into one, Curandera is a story of rebirth and redemption, a mythic tale of recalibrations across time.
