Un fin del mundo

In 2012, spiritual tourists travel to Mexico from all around the world to be present at the end of the Mayan calendar. And the Mexicans? They don’t really believe in it and prefer to devote themselves to the blessed virgin, Guadalupe. Some are celebrating the end of the world, others are preparing themselves for it through meditation, and the rest is ignoring it. Near to the end or in the prime of their life: they all find themselves in Mexico: spiritualists, new agers, ravers, Christians, followers of Mary and crystal enthusiasts – in an ecstasy between culture and cult. What does the end of the world add up to? Total devastation, a transition or will simply nothing happen? (DOK.fest München)
