A Christlike figure wanders through bizarre, grotesque scenarios filled with religious and sacrilegious imagery. He meets a mystical guide who introduces him to seven wealthy and powerful individuals, each representing a planet in the solar system. These seven, along with the protagonist, the guide and the guide's assistant, divest themselves of their worldly goods and form a group of nine who will seek out the Holy Mountain, in order to displace the gods who live there and become immortal.

Такого вихря образов вряд ли можно встретить в еще какой-либо ленте. Из ран убитых солдатами жертв вылетают птицы, жабы в старинной испанской форме под нацисткие марши штурмуют пирамиды ацтеков. Главный герой, просыпается голым в земном мире пороков и соблазнов. Пройдя сквозь череду соблазнов и ужасов обыденной жизни, он встречает Учителя, который проводит его через миры каббалы, Таро, Астрологии. Персонаж, пройдя обряды инициации и очищения, получает возможность вместе с другими учениками совершить попытку подняться на Священную Гору, чтобы постичь тайны девяти мудрецов, проживших 30 000 лет.

All of Alejandro Jodorowsky's films could be described as "weird," but if you can see through the outlandish visual imagery you will find some surprising (if uncomfortable) insights into human nature.

I felt that this was a thoroughly disgusting movie from start to finish. If they were going for art, they totally missed the mark.
