In Guatemala, Mayan spirituality is making a quiet but powerful return. After centuries of suppression following the Spanish conquest, ancestral rituals, sacred sites, and ancient beliefs are being reclaimed by a new generation.
Through the journey of a Mayan spiritual guide and his community, this documentary explores how ceremonies, sacred fire, and the Mayan calendar continue to shape identity, healing, and connection to nature.
But this revival comes with tension. In a country where Christianity dominates, indigenous practices are still misunderstood, sometimes rejected, and often forced to coexist with other belief systems.
From sacred temples to urban neighborhoods, this film reveals the struggle to protect Mayan heritage, transmit knowledge to younger generations, and defend a spiritual worldview rooted in balance, ancestors, and the natural world.
A story of resistance, identity, and cultural survival in modern Guatemala.
