Humano plot
Off to the Andes Mountains and armed with a camera and 200 questions, 25-year-old Alan Stivelman wants to uncover the meaning of our existence and the answers to fundamental questions about what it means to be human. With the help of shaman guide Plácido to help him find the right path to enlightenment, Alan embarks on an introspective and existential journey over three months. “Humano” is the resulting account of his experiences. The film combines footage of Alan's physical journey - such as his and Plácido's forays into the sacred mountains - and images of the awe-inspiring natural environment, with animations.
