Thousands of years ago, primordial man discovered a way to talk directly with the gods. By altering their state of consciousness, they could heal the sick, make rain and control the movement of animals. The film makes the connection between San trance dances and the rave scene, and features thought-provoking interviews. It includes unique and beautifully shot footage of people in a trance-state, and is edited to a very trancey soundtrack.
