Hell Bad Trip Heaven

Anna Rotreklová / Czech Republic / 2023 / World Premiere / 8 min.


synopsis

A bad trip is a very unpleasant experience induced by psychedelics that often resembles being in hell. The outcome is not necessarily traumatic. Integrating the event may have a positive psychological impact of getting closer to the essence of being. The protagonist tells the story of a bad trip experienced at the Bufo Alvarius ceremony that brings up the question of whether the journey to an imaginary heaven, inner peace and self-acceptance may lead through the very hell she went through.

This film will be featured in the online edition of Ji.hlava IDFF.
