'4 altares' shoots in Barcelona

05/24/2019

Cinema as medicine

The film shoots those days in our city after filming in the Amazon rainforest and the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru and in Guadalajara and in the Laguna of Bacalar, in Mexico.

The intensity of the life of Ana (Silke Klein), a Spanish journalist, has reached its climax. On a trip to the Amazon that begins as an investigation into deforestation and illegal gold, she meets Don Abel a man initiated into an ancient sacred science. Ana will find herself in a ritual that will change her life.

4 altares is based on the book by Alonso del Río of the same name who is also the scriptwriter and general director of the film. Federico Abdenur and Luis Adán Zayas Castillero are co-directors of this project that aims to be cinema with conscience. The art as medicine. Not only plants heal, cinema too.
