Full Synopsis

David, aka “Mister Raw”, is part of a growing scene of self-proclaimed “healers” with links to the far right. As for Timo, who works for this raw vegan influencer, he is attempting to cure his psychotic delusions with food supplements and fasting. A stark dive into the reasons that drive some individuals to turn towards a world full of threats and dark forces.
