Candice, a devout Catholic missionary, works hard to convert an Indigenous community in the remote Ecuadorian Andes, alongside her husband Joel and their teenage son, Elliot. Living near the Chimborazo volcano, their peaceful life is disrupted when tensions arise with the local Shaman, who resists the changes Candice and a bilingual priest, Father Meyer, have introduced.
When Elliot falls mysteriously ill, Candice suspects the Shaman’s involvement, believing it to be a form of retaliation. As Elliot’s condition worsens, Candice realizes that the cause is far more terrifying than she imagined – Elliot is possessed by a powerful, ancient entity. Faced with the horrifying possibility that this demon is older than her faith, Candice is forced to make an unthinkable choice — one that could either save her son or cost them their very souls.”
SHAMAN is directed and produced by Antonio Negret. Written and produced by Daniel Negret. Produced by Luiza Ricupero. Executive produced by María Ángeles Palacios. Cinematography by Daniel Andrade. Edited by Louis Bravo. Composed by Chris Westlake and Maria Vertiz. A Night Tree production.
