Ex-Shaman

Ex-Shaman

(2018)

In the heart of the mystical Amazon rainforest, “Ex-Shaman” follows the journey of Tula, a once-revered shaman whose enigmatic abilities to commune with spirits and heal the sick were legendary. Now in her late thirties, Tula has turned her back on the ancient traditions that defined her youth. Haunted by the death of her younger brother during a ritual gone wrong, she has traded her feathers and chants for a more mundane life, running a small eco-lodge that caters to tourists seeking adventure.

However, Tula’s serenity is shattered when a logging company threatens to destroy the sacred lands surrounding her lodge. Struggling against the encroachment of modernity, Tula is forced to confront the trauma of her past, grappling with her identity as both a protector of her culture and a person seeking solace in a world that seems hell-bent on forgetting the old ways. As she reluctantly reconnects with her roots, she meets Joaquin, a passionate environmental activist who becomes her unexpected ally.

Joaquin brings with him the spirit of activism, igniting the fire within Tula to reclaim her ancestral heritage. Together, they embark on a quest to unite the local tribes and fight against the impending destruction, but the deeper Tula immerses herself in her shamanic practices, the more she finds herself torn between two worlds. Visions of her brother return, pushing her to confront the feelings of guilt and loss that have haunted her for years.

As Tula wrestles with her awakening powers, she learns of a forgotten prophecy that could either unify her people or doom them. To harness her abilities fully, Tula must face not only external adversaries but also the internal battles that plague her. Along the way, she encounters enigmatic spirits that embody the fears and hopes of her community, urging her to embrace her true calling.

“Ex-Shaman” explores themes of spirituality, healing, and ecological justice, weaving a rich tapestry of the collision between tradition and modernity. With captivating visuals of the lush rainforest and a powerful narrative centered on a woman’s journey of self-discovery, this series promises to resonate with audiences yearning for connection, purpose, and the age-old wisdom of the earth.
