Spirits We Didn't Ask For

In a post‑truth world, UFO myths, esotericism, and Eurocentric fantasies merge in Capilla del Monte (ARG). Starting from Erich von Däniken’s speculative theories, «Spirits We Didn't Ask For» weaves documentary, fiction, and essay film into a critical exploration of truth and identity.
